Mini-Thon sponsors cuts for a cause

By CHRISTIAN BROWN Last year during IHS MiniTHON, twelve students cut and donated their hair for the cause. This year, you too can be one of them. Students can pick up a form outside of room 101 to volunteer to get their haircut at MiniTHON this year. MiniTHON benefits The Four Diamonds Fund, which is a charity that directly supports the families of children with pediatric cancer. Any hair that gets cut at MiniTHON gets donated to children in need. Senior Caleb Campbell cut his hair last year at MiniTHON and commented, “I’ve wanted a haircut for a while and figured why not get it cut for a cause. It was a good change, I felt very glad that I did it in the end, and I had no regrets whatsoever.” Students can choose to get their hair cut as long or as short as they want, it’s completely your

Athena Club participates in Go Red For Women

By ELIA DIETZ IHS Athena Club dedicated the month of February to women’s heart health awareness. To show support, Athena Club raised awareness by hosting a blood drive and posting signs around the high school. Students, staff, and teachers are encouraged to wear red every Friday through February in honor of the Go Red For Women event.

By ELLA BARLEY The Indiana High School Quizbowl team finished the regular season ranked second in our region, going 7 and 1. They are now preparing for the playoffs.

Senior Olivia Krimin helping to Keep PA Beautiful

Submitted to The High Arrow by OLIVIA KRIMIN In recent years multiple sources including local news outlets and PennDOT, have reported that there are over 500 million pieces of trash scattered along Pennsylvania’s main roads. That’s about 39 pieces of trash for each individual person in Pennsylvania. As an Indiana resident and current senior at Indiana Area Senior High School, I’ve lived along a highway for the entirety of my life. It hasn’t always been the same one, but the common factor remains the same: excessive litter. This is what inspired me to apply to be a young ambassador for Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, and consequently being selected as one of 35 ambassadors spread across Pennsylvania through a competitive application process. The organization’s mission is to “[empower] Pennsylvanians to keep our communities clean and beautiful.” As a Young Ambassador, I conduct and coordinate one cleanup event and one education event throughout
