Ross Middle School students raise charity funds in Math-A-Thon
A St. Jude Math-A-Thon was held during January and February at Ross Middle School to helps raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the premiere center for research and treatment of childhood cancer and other deadly diseases, according to principal Chris Saylor
By participating in the Math-A-Thon, RMS sixth grade Elite Team students supported the St. Jude mission of finding cures and saving children across the country and around the world. Individuals sponsored students participating in the Math-A-Thon by pledging an amount-per-problem or a one-time donation.
A tradition for more than 30 years, Math-A-Thon is a supplemental math program that raises much needed funds for the research and treatment of childhood diseases at St. Jude. Participating students receive a Funbook that is filled with math problems and puzzles. Students ask family and friends for pledges based on an amount-per-problem or a one-time donation. After students complete their Funbooks, they collect the pledges and donations from their sponsors, and all donations are sent to St. Jude.
RMS Elite team students have raised $1,131 this school year.
“A big congratulations goes out to them for working hard to help such a worthy cause,” Saylor said. “Over the past several years participating students have now raised a cumulative total of $8,613.”
