2nd ANNUAL HIKE FOR HOPE
The 2nd annual Hike for Hope - Cody's Climb, sponsored by the American Foundation for the Prevention of Suicide, is coming up this spring. Cody Miller was a Queensbury student who would be graduating this year if not for falling victim to suicide as a sophomore. The Hike for Hope is the culmination of fundraising activities so that teens can learn alternative healthy ways to deal with depression. If you are interested in hiking with us to support the AFPS, sign up in Mrs. Fisch's office in the Guidance Office by Friday, February 12. If you are looking for a wonderful opportunity to show our community that you care about each other, Cody's Climb is it!
