These students have really come together for their community over the past few months.

Monday night, the community had to come together in a different way when they lost a student. Anderson Peters died from a medical condition while at wrestling practice. He was just 16 years old.

So, for Sunrise School Spirit, the Rangers want to keep Anderson’s legacy alive. They’ve collected a large amount of food and they are ready to donate it in Anderson’s honor:
