At the Lions' last home game, a fundraiser was held for Christian Gallegos and his family. A three-year varsity starter in the offensive line, Christian suffered a season-ending broken leg in the Lions' season-opener on Aug. 28. A few weeks earlier, Christian's Dad had been diagnosed with cancer, and his Dad passed away in September. Lion assistant coaches Edwin Bah and Nathan Stinson spearheaded the fundraiser and last Friday they joined Lions Head Coach Kevin Sherrill in presenting Christian a check for over $2,900 to help his family. The coaches and Christian thanked all those who attended the Vernon-Boyd game and made a donation to help the Gallegos family.

Students in Ms. Linda Hanson's Anatomy & Physiology classes returned to school Tuesday to find a "crime scene" in their classroom. The students became coroners, as they had to autopsy the pickles and determine the "cause of death." The exercise was a great way to combine learning with fun.
