| Spin-a-thon Room with 80 bikes |
Thank you to all the FNS families and staff members who helped raise funds for Cure AT/RT. Our team, the Sweetsir Spinners, surpassed our goal by raising $1,675! By the end of the spin-a-thon, over $60,000 had been collected. The total for
"Avalanna's Weekend" is expected to be even higher once the proceeds from the Spa Night are tallied in with other proceeds.
For those of us who attended the Spin-a-thon, it was a very emotional and inspiring experience. Walking into the room, you couldn't help but be awestruck by the number of people who gave their time and effort to support this cause. It's astonishing that a little 6 year old girl could rally such a large community of people.

| Some of the Sweetsir Spinners |
Mrs. Erica Wentworth, a kindergarten teacher, went above and beyond as our team captain. To add spirit she designed these shirts and created a sign for the Sweetsir bike. This photo shows some of the many staff members who wore the shirts to school on Friday and spent part of the weekend pedaling.

| Cake Pops by Terceiro |
Mrs. Kathy Terceiro, a third grade teacher, made a bazillion of these fancy cake pops for Cure AT/RT. You may have seen them being sold around town and outside of West Newbury Food Mart by some Merrimac children. The children also showed up at the club to cheer on the spinners. They were quite irresistible in their bright yellow shirts (featuring a large 'A'), tutus, and bows.
