UHS graduate organizes fundraiser

Friday, Oct. 8, former United High School student Teresa N. Jarrell spearheaded a mini-fundraiser to benefit breast cancer survivors. Jarrell began by purchasing a spool of pink ribbon to make decorative bows. She then asked UHS band members to donate whatever they could. In turn, they would receive a bow that they could wear on their uniform during the UHS/Nixon football game. A total of $267.03 was raised, and all proceeds will be donated to Mercy Ministries. Jarrell is a mentor and band tech with the United High School Longhorn Band (percussion section). She is also a former band member and graduate of UHS.
