Mrs. Skaggs is a seventh-grade teacher who teaches advanced and regular math classes. She has been in first place for earning the most amount of money for a terrible disease called, Cystic Fibrosis. Station Camp Middle school decided to try to raise enough money to cure Cystic Fibrosis, with what we call the Blizzard. Scientists are near finding a cure!
Here are some questions we asked our lovely teacher, Mrs. Skaggs:
Mrs. Skaggs, what is the blizzard for?
“The blizzard is to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis and to hopefully one day to come up with a cure or new treatments and medicines for those who are struggling with Cystic Fibrosis.”
How much did the school raise on the first day?
“The first day, which was Monday, we raised about five hundred dollars. We have been doing this for eight years and for the past seven years, we have raised about 3,500 or 35,000 dollars.”
Do you have anything to share about the disease?
“My hope is that one day, we are going to find something out there to help those who are fighting with this disease every day because personally, they should know I have experience with this.”
Do you want to add anything you would like to say?
“I just hope that students realize that they are helping a great cause and I want to thank everyone who donated. Our total was $6,586.57!!!! AMAZING!”
Thank you, Mrs. Skaggs! We love you for everything that you do!
