Each class at Wellington C. Mepham High School did battle for a cause last week, as an annual spirit event became a fundraiser for a cancer charity.
Battle of the Classes, which was organized by seniors in Chris Parren and Kerry Dennis’s Participation in Government class, was held in the Brookside School gymnasium on Nov. 14. The evening, filled with physical activity and Pirate pride, doubled as a fundraiser, with $3,815 collected for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
