The Grauer Girl Rising Club hosted a 12-hour Dance Marathon to raise money towards funding tuition at Daraja Academy. Over 40 students attended the Dance Marathon which raised more than $1,000, so Girl Rising reached their goal to fund one girl's tuition to Daraja!
From Alicia Tembi, Shelley Joslin, and Lindsay Zickler, Girl Rising Club Mentors: The Grauer Girl Rising Club hosted a 12-hour Dance Marathon to raise money towards funding tuition for one girl at Daraja Academy in Nanyuki, Kenya. Daraja Academy is an all-girls school that provides education to girls who would otherwise not be able to go to school. The Girl Rising Club had already raised $2,000 of their $2,500 goal earlier this year. There were over 40 students in attendance at the Dance Marathon which raised an additional $1,000, so Girl Rising reached their goal to fund one girl's tuition to Daraja!
Students danced, played musical chairs, enjoyed movies, and ate lots of snacks over the course of the 12 hours. The winners of the Dance Marathon were Inder C. '27, Evren M. '27, Thomas L. '28 and Chase M. '28. Shout-out to these middle schoolers for bringing the energy and enthusiasm! Aviya A. '24 and Sarai S. '24 spearheaded the event, decorated Meyer Hall, and ensured the event was organized and fun. Huge thanks to all of the students who attended the event to support Girl Rising and Daraja Academy!
Think of the yes people in your lives. They are the ones that make you feel empowered, accepted, and validated. Of all the yes people you could ever ask for, teachers might be the most important, and we tend to appreciate them for our whole lives.
Step into the heart of the Holy Land with students bridging seemingly impossible divides. From celebrating in Jerusalem to flying peace kites in the West Bank, witness their quest to understand and process conflict.
Congratulations to Ben A. '28 for being interviewed for the NBC 4 television station in Los Angeles. Ben was interviewed about his work with Tech-Angels, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering senior citizens through technology.
Grauer High School musicians performed a diverse and eclectic range of songs, curated by the students themselves, at the Music Cafe Night event on March 21.
