✨🧡 WOW. We are absolutely blown away. 🧡✨

Because of the incredible generosity of the Altamont and Dieterich communities, our Digging for a Cure volleyball night was a huge success. Together, through silent auction baskets, 50/50, bake sale and donations, we raised just about $3,000 for Karly Brummer as she continues her courageous fight against leukemia.

The outpouring of love and support reminds us that when our communities come together, amazing things happen. Every ticket purchased, every dollar given, every cheer from the stands—it all added up to show Karly and her family that they are not fighting alone.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for standing with us, for standing with Karly, and for proving that our small towns have the biggest hearts. 🧡🏐❤️ #DiggingForACure #TeamKarly #Altamont #Dieterich

The Altamont NHS hosted the first blood drive of the school year. We collected 54 units of blood. Thank you to all of the students, faculty and community members who donated.
