Clarke Middle School Wrestlers wrestle for a cause

Clarke Middle School wrestlers are fundraising this year through t-shirt sales to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The funds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Cris McAfee, Middle School secretary, Christie Stortenbecker, Middle School Band director and Nicki Andrew, Elementary food service have spent the year battling breast cancer so the Middle School wrestlers are honoring them with this fundraiser.
