MHS held its first Dance Marathon, parting with the University of Northern Iowa, to help raise money for the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City. The group raised $2,700 and held a dance at the high school on Feb. 24 from 7-11 p.m. They heard from three local miracle families who have used the UIHC’s services. Here, students pose for a picture with the Moestchen kids (Logan, Lily and Ava).
