Mater Dei takes on Sunrise School Spirit

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Sunrise School Spirit took over Mater Dei early Friday morning.

Students at the high school brought lots of excitement for week four of Sunrise School Spirit.

The Wildcats made their Sunrise debut back in 2016 and they say they were ready to make a difference again this year!

Students that helped Friday morning say they’re proud of their tight-knit community.

“It’s incredible, especially with such a small school,” student Tess Freeman said. “To be able to pull this off, it really just shows how community outreach is to all of us, and how important this day is to all of us and helping others.”

Mater Dei gathered 6,292 pounds for the Tri-State Food Bank, which puts the Wildcats in third place.

As of Friday, Hopkins County Central is in the lead with 14,970 pounds of food.
