Mc Allen ISD Middle School Hosts Healthy Fall Festival Fundraiser

Share On Social!

For students at Cathey Middle School in Mc Allen, TX, fundraisers are both healthy and fun.

In Fall 2014, during the last two periods of the school day, students participated in a school-wide fundraiser which featured a rock wall, scavenger hunt, races, a moon jump, and musical chairs.

As part of the festivities students also had access to healthy snacks.

“It’s a great day for Cathey and it’s a new model for fundraising for PTO (Parent Teacher Organization), said Cathey Middle School Principal, Melvin Benford.”
