Editor’s note: Schools are closed to visitors and extra activities right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we thought we’d take a look back at past philanthropic activities at local schools. Here’s a look back at Green Park Lutheran School raising money for cancer in March 2017.
National Junior Honor Society students at Green Park Lutheran School worked together in spring 2017 to create school spirit and raise funds for cancer research.
“It was the students’ idea,” said faculty sponsor Ann Ryherd. “I was so proud of their great idea and enthusiasm.”
NJHS students created posters for the halls, spoke to the student body and encouraged everyone to dress in color for support. Monday was white/lung cancer, Tuesday pink/breast cancer, Wednesday teal/ovarian cancer, Thursday orange/leukemia, Friday liver.

Prime Movers Lab raises $245 million for second fund to invest in early stage science startups
After revealing its first fund just last year, a $100 million pool of investment capital dedicated to early stage startups focusing on sustainable food development, clean energy, health innovation and new space technologies, Prime Movers Lab is back with a second fund. Prime Movers Lab Fund II is larger, with $245 million committed, but it will pursue the same investment strategy, albeit with a plan to place more bets on more companies, with an expanded investment team to help manage the funds and portfolio.
“There are a lot of VCs out there,” explained founder and general partner Dakin Sloss about the concept behind the fund. “But there aren’t many VCs that are focused exclusively on breakthrough science, or deep tech.

Garner’s 2018 post has had more than a million views, and now she’s working with Netflix to star in a movie based on the book.
