Local High School Senior Prank Praised For Kindness

Schools typically warn their students ahead of time that senior pranks could result in various forms of punishment, and over the years, they seem to have dwindled a bit. After a clever senior prank by a group of seniors at Cumberland High School in Wisconsin went viral last month showing the dangers of drinking and driving, it's nice to know that some Berne-Knox-Westerlo senior students followed suit. But they had their own unique idea, and decided to help out a classmate in need.

According to a story shared by Newschannel 13, The students' 'prank' was not really much of a prank at all. They had a cookout on school property today and sold hamburgers and hot dogs to raise money for a classmate with cancer. The students raised more than $1,600 on Thursday alone for Amy Weidman, a student at the school diagnosed with cancer. Donations raised from the fundraiser will help her with medical costs and most certainly lift her spirits.

Well done, seniors!
