Challenge Accepted – Collierville Independent

In order to raise awareness for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and fundraise for ALS research, Houston High School hosted a special event on Aug. 29. during halftime of the school’s first home football game. Houston teacher Traci Spain and the HHS Student Council organized the event, which was dedicated to Linda Suchman, mother of a HHS teacher, and all other Shelby County residents affected by ALS. Throughout the week, students voted with dollars for the teachers they’d most like to see take the “Ice Bucket Challenge.” ABOVE: From left, Houston High School teachers Marsha Crizer, Debbie Johnson, Tom Suchman, Haley Thomas, Jackie Smith and Katie Carter take the challenge during halftime of the Bolton game.
