At Grafton High School, we are more than just a school, we are a family.
Many of you remember last year when we collected donations for our Bearcats Fight Together Fund. We are continuing this tradition during Homecoming Week to help support our Bearcats who are facing difficult medical times.
At this time, several members of our staff are walking through medical and health challenges. We are choosing to honor their privacy by keeping their names confidential. These are individuals who have given so much of their time, care, and energy to our students and community. Now, it’s our turn to show them that Bearcats do not fight alone. EVERY DONATION COUNTS!
💙 Donate $1 or more and receive an EXTRA POINT toward your class for that day’s Spirit Day! You can donate EVERY DAY of Spirit Week to help your class earn additional points!
HOW TO DONATE
IN PERSON:
Bring your donation during morning check-in each day next week.
ONLINE:
Donate online using the link/QR code provided.
ALL WEEK LONG
September 28 – October 2
Your donation can make a difference in the life of a fellow Bearcat.
Together, we can show our Bearcats that they never have to fight alone.
We look forward to seeing all of the Bearcat Pride throughout the week!

We understand this occurs during homecoming spirit week, so students are welcome to bring a change of clothes for pictures. All students will get their photos taken during the English classes.
Our sno-cone and popcorn sale was a HUGE success and we raised over $600 in one hour!!!
