  • March for Babies

    By CHRIS PARKER/THISWEEKNEWS
    Students and staff from Hayes Intermediate School walk around the school's gymnasium in a March for Babies fundraiser Friday, May 10. All of the money collected will be given to the March of Dimes in honor of "Team Amelia Elise." The team was started in 2010 by Hayes sixth-grade teacher Michelle Toothman and her husband, Dave, after the loss of their daughter at birth. Each student who donated at least $1 could participate for 15 minutes in the walk.
