Throughout the month, students played school-wide games of tag and even went caroling, all in the name of charity. Collectively, the three high schools raised $107,146, according to the district.
Here's where that money went:
- Century: $15K to Special Olympics and $15K to Bear Creek Services

- Mayo: $40,241 to GOFA project (Give One For All), which benefits Rochester Dorthy Day House and the local women’s shelter
