Doyline High School is proud to be a part of the historic 50th Minden St Jude auction.
Their fundraising activities include the Little Miss DHS and Little Miss Elementary DHS pageants that will be held this Saturday, January 18 beginning at 11 a.m. at Doyline High School.
This year’s fundraising endeavor is being charged by Doyline teacher, Susan Wilson.
“This is our second year to hold the pageant,” Wilson said. She stated that they are off to a slow start this year compared to years past, but they are confident that they will meet or exceed their goal of raising $5000 for St Jude.
Other fundraising activities include Wednesday jean days – where students and staff can pay $1 to wear jeans. Also, they have pizza sales which are a hit among the students.
The events that bring in the most donations, however, are Doyline’s traditional St. Jude assemblies.
These assemblies are a fun and exciting way to get the students involved in what has become a monumental event in Webster Parish. Teachers volunteer to get their hair dyed or to be duct taped to the wall, silly things like that, depending on how much money is raised. The students love this!
Money is also raised through concessions that are sold during these days.
The assemblies are coordinated to be held during the time of the Minden St. Jude Auction, which will be February 6-9.
