In The Spotlight
• GCISD’s Students of the Month for October are first grader Cody Halfmann, son of Ricky and Becky Halfmann; Lauren Wheeler, sixth grade daughter of Andy and Karen Wheeler; seventh grader Samuel Nunez, son of Jesus and Maria Nunez and senior Daniel Martinez, son of Juan and Rosalinda Martinez.
• For the third straight year, the Howard-Glasscock Unit of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life 2002 raised more money than any other unit its size in Texas, and was sixth nationally. The relay netted $163,633, or $4.85 for every person in the unit’s area, according the Big Spring Herald. To put that figure in perspective, the 2003 state goal will be to raise $1 per person in each area.
