The Carmel Clay Education Foundation (CCEF) plans to have the “Ghosts and Goblins” fundraiser on Oct. 31.

The event will be a fundraiser for CCEF’s mission to award scholarships for deserving seniors. Participants will have an option between a 5K run, 2K walk and wellness fair organized by the CHS Wellness Committee. According to CCEF assistant superintendent Jeff Swensson, this is the first time the organization has had a fundraiser like this.

“I’m pretty excited to do this. It seems fun,” junior Nathan Albrecht said. Albrecht said he signed up for the event and also plans to bring some of his friends.

Also, Nov. 2 is the deadline for teachers and schools to apply for an education grant.

“Education grants have been one of the most important contributions the CCEF has made to our schools over the years,” Swensson said. Swensson explained that the grants can give teachers in need financial support so that they can get various supplies.

“While not all grants can be funded, over the years a tremendous number of teachers and students have benefited from the projects that received support from the CCEF,” Swensson said. By Yameen Hameed <[email protected]>
