IHS Leadership builds anticipation for Mini-THON with the color reveals and first round of draft picks. The color reveal videos were released on Jan. 5, 7, 8  and 9, and left the school talking about it. The variety of fun videos revealed that the colors are pink, yellow, blue and purple. Also, starting on Jan. 5 were early, early-bird, and early-bird sign-ups for Mini-THON. From now through Feb. 11, you can sign up for 20 dollars and still receive a t-shirt. Starting on Feb. 12 students can still sign up, but the price increases, and they will not receive a t-shirt. 

IHS leadership has been working hard to increase the number of participants this year. Senior and member of IHS Leadership, Julia Antonacci, comments that she starred as Fear in an Inside Out-themed color reveal video, which revealed yellow as their color. She moves on to say that her favorite video is the Hunger Games-themed video, which revealed pink as a mini-THON color. Each color was revealed through a fun video to build excitement. Their goal is to break 400 sign-ups. Mini-Thon is the second largest school event, with only homecoming having more attendees. 

Senior Kaylee Onder comments that she “knows what happens at THON” but says the color reveal videos still increased her anticipation. When asked about the mini-THON, Junior Rachel Livermore, says her favorite color reveal video was the Bachelor-themed video that revealed Blue. She continues to say, “I have already signed up for mini-THON, and I am super excited.” 

Leadership’s color reveal videos were a great success with IHS students and increased the excitement around Mini-THON for many. Leadership is still working on encouraging more students to register, but has already had a great turnout of sign-ups. Events and updated information will continue to be shared about the IHS leadership’s Mini-THON.
