- This year for the first time, we will be participating in Green Day for MDA – all to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). On March 16, we invite you to wear green and donate $1 or more to the MDA. All donators will receive shamrock shaped cutouts that donors can write their name on and display. The money raised will go towards children with Muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases that take away physical strength, independence and life. Our support helps kids and adults live longer and grow stronger. Students are encouraged to wear green for a Green-Out! We will have a bakesale on Thursday.
