Some of our student athletes made the trip to our local McDonald's to collect money raised during October 21's McDonald's High School Sports Digital Fundraising Day.

We received a check in the amount of $543.12! Thanks to all who participated in this event. And thank you McDonald's for your support of Saxon athletics.
