On Thursday, October 30, Fossil Ridge High School’s Future Business Leaders of America put on a March of Dimes Walk to support premature births. March of Dimes is the adopted charity of FBLA nationwide, so every FBLA will put on an event to support the cause.
“I just love everyone getting together for a cause. It touches your heart that kids know that the walk is for a good cause,” said Karen Seeton, a business teacher at FRHS as well as FBLA advisor. The students walked from Fossil Ridge to local BJ’s restaurant and BrewHouse off Harmony, where many of the students and their friends stayed to eat dinner. BJ’s donated 15% of sales to the March of Dimes Foundation. Students were also encouraged to dress up and a prize was awarded for best costume.
Senior Jenny Reznik, the Vice President of Fossil FBLA, was helping to run the event. “It spreads awareness of how many premature babies are out there and how the program needs support,” said Reznik.

I like the use of many photos in this article. Also, you inserted quotes nicely to support your ideas. However, I agree that you should add a little bit on what premature birth is or more on what the March of Dimes is. You also had a capitalization error, so just be sure to take extra time to review the little things.

I really like the pictures you took during this event! They really capture what the event was like and how beneficial it was.

I would add, somewhere towards the beginning of the second paragraph or towards the top of the first paragraph, what a premature birth is.
I love the pictures!It really shows the story of the walk. I also like how you put the link to the actual website there.
