Bluefield High to Kick Off Craig Armbrister Walkathon
Bluefield High School plans its annual Craig Armbrister Walkathon on April 30 at the school track to raise funds for senior scholarships. Established in memory of 1987 graduate Craig Armbrister who died in 1991, the event invites students to raise at least 15 dollars to participate and 25 dollars or more to earn a commemorative hat. Scholarships typically total 500 dollars per recipient, awarded to those with strong grades and community service, with last year awarding ten 500 dollar grants. Approximately 400 students take part each year, and winners are announced after fundraising, followed by free cafeteria food and prizes.
