SHS seniors, staff volley for fundraiser

Bump, set, fundraise.

Sequim High’s good-natured rivalry between its upperclassmen and staff took a new turn last week with a Seniors-Versus-Staff volleyball game on Nov. 8.

Staffers and 12th-graders vied for bragging rights with a bit of crowd participation: backers could pay $1 per point to boost their team as a class graduation fundraiser.

The school traditionally hosts a similar contest with a seniors-v-staff basketball game later in the school year.
