The Gallatin County School recently held their annual Quest for St. Jude, February 2nd through February 24th. As always, this year was a huge success. The entire school, community, and Jr. High Student Council pulled together raising money to help fight childhood cancer. The money has been counted and the classroom that collected the most will celebrate with a pizza party. Third place was Mrs. Makenzie Tuttle’s sixth grade class with $91.50. Second place was Ms. Amanda Drone’s seventh grade class with $154.81. First place was Mrs. Rikki DeNeals’ first grade class with $176.24. This year’s school-wide grand total was $777.35. The Jr. High Student Council would like to thank you for your help in supporting such a great cause! Donations may still be made to the school prior to our z100 St. Jude’s check presentation on March 27th. The students are pictured with Student Council President Isaac Walters. Again thank you Gallatin County! By: Reporter Hunter Miller
