Northmor staff and students host benefit for recovering students

Tay­lor Kaser -

A ben­e­fit held by North­mor Schools for two stu­dents involved in an auto­mo­bile acci­dent had an excel­lent turnout and sup­port Fri­day evening.

A hot dog and chili din­ner was served in the High school cafe­te­ria with a silent auc­tion later in the evening.

Money raised by the ben­e­fit will go to the fam­i­lies of stu­dents Kylie Hipp and James Welshans. Food Ser­vice Direc­tor Nikki Mor­ri­son com­mented that around $3,500 was raised from the din­ner alone — money from the silent auc­tion has not all come in yet.

Mor­ri­son, who con­ceived the event, said that after a date was set “every­one just stepped up to help.” Kitchen staff, the Honor Soci­ety and high school prin­ci­pal Chad Red­mon played a key role in mak­ing the night a success.

“It’s a real bless­ing to the school, and we’re hop­ing to the stu­dents too.” said Mor­ri­son. The pro­ceeds will help the fam­i­lies’ med­ical bills.
