Students at IIS celebrated their annual "Mini Relay for Life" day last week. These students raised over $1,000 for cancer research in just one week and showed their support for those battling this terrible disease.
Each class selected a "theme" and made banners and dressed up for the walk. Classes were judged and winners were named for each grade level, along with an overall school winner.
