There are going to be at least a few grumbling stomachs. That's a given.
Nevertheless, Mars Area chemistry teacher and key club advisor Rebecca Winek also realizes that her students' participation in the World Vision 30 Hour Famine will more than satiate their appetite for philanthropy.
Several students will fast from noon on Friday, Feb. 24, through 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25. For the past few weeks, they have been collecting pledges to benefit World Vision, a Christian relief organization that fights poverty.
'The students we have signed up really like volunteering to do anything,' Winek said. 'For the most part, they're all very active and hard working. They like to challenge themselves.'"
