Junior Raises Funds for LLS
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society recently recognized junior Mary Lucy Currier for raising $27,554 to support medical research and improve the quality of life of patients and their families affected by blood cancer.
Mary Lucy led a fundraising team of NDCL students named Delaney’s Defenders to honor the memory of Delaney Nalepka, a childhood friend who died from leukemia in 2020.
“We count ourselves lucky to have had Mary Lucy and your school community as a part of this campaign,” wrote Kevin Jakub and Denny Ziegler, co-chairpersons of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign.
Thirty-three high school teams raised a total of $821,000 in this year’s fundraising effort.
BBB Students of Integrity
Senior Aubriana Hills was one of only four students honored by the Better Business Bureau’s 2023 Students of Integrity Competition during a special awards ceremony at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on April 20.
The Students of Integrity Competition recognizes high school students in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake and Lorain counties who, through their actions and life examples, personify ethics and strong character. School counselor Ryan McCafferty nominated Aubriana for the prestigious honor.
The Better Business Bureau produced a professional video to highlight the qualities that led to Aubriana’s selection for the award. BBB also presented her with a $1,000 college scholarship.
