On
June 2, Kernersville Elementary School will host its first annual Relay for
Life/Rock the Block event on the front lawn of the school from 6 to 9 p.m.
“This
event is being held as our school continues its effort to bring awareness in
the fight against cancer,” said Data Manager Kathi Amrich.
“We
will be splitting the donations raised with the American Cancer Society and the
Lydia Brinker Education Fund for At Risk Youth. Lydia was a fellow colleague at
Kernersville Elementary School when she was diagnosed with brain cancer 12 years
ago and recently passed away when it returned.”
“We
will be dedicating a butterfly bush in her memory.”
“We
will have an official proclamation from the mayor of Kernersville, Dawn Morgan,
and the raising of the flag and Pledge Allegiance led by a local Boy Scout
troop.”
“There
will be games, music, food and an area marked off to walk in honor/memory of
those affected by cancer. In culmination of the event, luminaries will be lit
in a solemn ceremony at the end of the evening.”
“We
are welcoming the entire community and hope to see them there.”
Tickets
are 25 cents each to play games or five for $1. If anyone wants to make a
donation, checks are to be made to Kernersville Elementary School with Cancer
Fund in the memo line.

more information, send Kathi Amrich and email at kamrich@wsfcs.k12.nc.us
