Flowery Branch High School students and teachers competed this month for their right to a porcelain throne, while taking a step to flush out cancer. The Partnership for Success Club at Flowery Branch High sponsored a “Flush Out Cancer” fundraiser during December to raise money for Relay for Life, a branch of The American Cancer Society. The club’s purpose is to bring students with and without disabilities together to work on leadership skills and community service.
