Liberty’s first Red Night was on Feb. 5th and raised $2,600 for the American Heart Association. At the girls varsity basketball game, the girls defeated Winfield by a score of 52-43. The boys varsity team won by 64-42. At lunch

throughout the week before the game on Friday, the school raised $300 for the fundraiser Stop the Bop.

The school played Hanson’s “MMMbop” during all three lunch shifts. The song can get rather irritating some would say, but in order to get it to stop being played, we had to raise money. At both games, a photo booth was in the main lobby. There was also a 50/50 raffle.

There was a cake auction as well. Some clubs helped out and made some of the cakes. Key club, soccer, and tennis, and Stuco helped out with cakes.

“It turned out to be a hit. We will definitely be doing it again next year,” Stuco member Mikie Rybak stated.

The American Heart Association is an association that raises awareness and money towards cardiovascular disease. There was a moment of silence for the Biondo family in honor of Ninfa Biondo. Overall, the Red Night game was a huge success for Liberty.
