Chatham county, NC - During the week of the ACC tournament, Pittsboro Elementary students, parents, and staff were encouraged to bring in money to put in a jar labeled with their favorite local ACC team. The money raised will go to the Pittsboro Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society.

The results were as follows: fourth place went to Wake Forest with $1.97, third place went to N.C. State with $89.52, second place went to UNC with $211.94, and first place went to Duke with $238.55. The total amount raised for Relay was $541.98.

The Jr. Beta Club at J.S. Waters held an ACC Change Challenge the week of March 10-14. The challenge was that the faculty and staff had to wear the colors of the ACC team that raised the most money. Club members collected money each day during homeroom. The winner of the challenge was the University of North Carolina. A total of $1016.44 was raised in the challenge. All of the proceeds will be donated to the West Chatham Relay for Life.
