WINCHESTER â A pair of Millbrook High School juniors recently staged a fundraising event worthy of a glowing endorsement from Monty Pythonâs Ministry of Silly Walks.
The Winter Waddle aimed to raise $300 for the Henry and William Evans Home for Children Inc. in Winchester. Instead, the two students who organized the event nearly quadrupled their goal by collecting $1,100.
âWeâre very proud of not only the community for helping the Evans Home, but also ourselves because we feel like we did a good job promoting it,â a beaming Ashley Pacheco-Arrostide, 17, said on Tuesday morning.
Ashley and Marisol Aquila, 16, organized the Winter Waddle as an activity for Millbrookâs chapter of the DECA Club, a national organization that fosters future leaders and entrepreneurs.
