TEAM prepares for Act Out Loud

On Friday, TEAM members handed out Otter Pops and flyers to promote Monday afternoon's Act Out Loud Safe Driving Rally.

The event, which will take place at 2:45 p.m. in the LHS parking lot in front of the English building, will have free food, games, beer goggles and other activities to promote safe teen driving.

Cesar Bautista, a junior at LHS, said he is looking forward to Monday's event.

"I'm so psyched," he said. "Last year was so much fun."

Morgan Butler, an LHS senior said he expects it to be "the highlight of this end month of school."

"It's a good note to end on," he said. "It's for a good cause and it helps people."

In preparation for the event, TEAM members were encouraged to ask local businesses to donate various prizes to be used at the rally.

According to Liberti Lucas, one of TEAM's site coordinators, the businesses that agreed to donate include Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, Logan Lanes and Smith's. There will also be gift cards from Wal-Mart and coupons from Old Grist Mill.

Service: Relay for Life

Members of TEAM walked/ran on the Field House track at Utah State University from 7 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday to show support for cancer research and prevention.

During the event, known as Relay for Life (a national program), at least one TEAM member had to be on the track at all times. While some paired up to walk around the track, others chose to run it alone. During breaks, they would socialize and play games. There were also various stands set up where they could buy food, drinks and photo opportunities. Money from those purchases — as well as to enter the event — went to the American Cancer Society.

By 10:30 p.m., he had run 5 miles.

Morgan Butler, a Logan High School senior, said he decided to attend the event because it is an important cause. 

"It helps them," Butler said. "It's not for you. It's for someone else, someone that needs help. 

Liberty Lucas, the Wilson Elementary School site coordinator, said it was the high school students in TEAM who decided that the event would be worth doing.

"We brought it up to the kids, and they said that they would love to be in this fundraising opportunity for cancer," Lucas said. "We're always looking for service projects and this is just one of them that we took a special interest in."

By the end of the event TEAM had ran/walk 99.5 miles for cancer.
