Prom or BUSt Fundraiser for Prom
The Geneva High School student council is holding a fun fundraiser for Prom this week, which will culminate at the Varsity Boys’ Basketball game on Jan. 24.
Several GHS teachers have graciously offered to “perform” to help raise money for Prom busses. This week (Jan. 21-24), participating teachers and their chosen student sponsors will collect money. Students must “vote” by donating money to the performance(s) they most want to see. Money is also being collected during all lunch periods.
Here are the participating teachers and their talents:
- Men of Science (Misters Raak, Lesatz, Nickelson, Gannon, Sweeney, Evans, Anderson) — will shave their beards to reveal mustaches that will be maintained for one week
- Senorita Bach — will sing for us! She’s in a band!
- Mrs. Grissinger — will create live artwork
- Mr. Whitman — will dazzle us with a shootout against an undetermined partner
At Friday’s Varsity Boys’ Basketball game, the person or group that collects the most money throughout the week will perform their chosen activity. There will also be a performance from the second place group or person if they raise at least $500.
