Thanks to everyone for making this year's relay so memorable. We were able to raise over $6,000!
I hope that everyone was able to take away more than just community service hours from this experience and keep the message of hope alive.
Seniors, I hope you'll continue to "Relay" no matter where you go and especially if you stay near Glendale. Non-seniors, you guys are lucky to be able to undergo this experience at least one more time as high school students. What more of an excuse do you need than to stay up all night with your friends, right? Even if everyone went to school the next day exhausted, sore all over, coughing, and sneezing, you have to admit that it's a great memory to have of your high school days.
One word.
SMORES.
Just click the slide show above to look at the some pictures from the Relay. Some photos are courtesy of Lance Park. If anybody has photos of relay just email me and I'll add to the album.

From the Founder
Dear Visitor,
Cancer, like most diseases, can victimize a patient and their family. However, unlike most diseases, cancer effects more lives in a year and has affected more communities across the United States than any recent epidemic.
The American Cancer Society Youth (ACSY) was founded at Hoover High School to introduce students to community work through the American Cancer Society (ACS) and help community members overcome the plight of cancer. We heavily rely upon donations from our community and the work done by the student body of Hoover High School to accomplish our mission of community support toward a cancer free world.
As founder of ACSY at Hoover, I have faced the effects cancer had on my family. When my uncle passed away from cancer four months after my grandfather had passed away from cancer, I had no one to turn to. Each member of my family was affected by the ordeal and was mourning the loss on their own. I did not know how to heal on my own.
After four years of grief, I joined the American Cancer Society and its efforts to raise funds at the Relay for Life. These funds go toward cancer research, programs for patients and their families, and scholarships for young survivors.
After pouring all my energy into organizing a team for Hoover High School in this event, the day of the relay I found a group of students I could turn to and help to overcome the effect this disease has had on us and our families.
Since then, every year our numbers grow. More students join our efforts and more money is raised for ACS. I am very proud of all the students who have been a part of ACSY and the leaders who have made all the community work possible.
I encourage all the students of Hoover High School to join ACSY and experience the profound feeling of giving back.
Sincerely,
Nairi Hartooni

First off I want to say terrific blog! I had a
quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I've
had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Many thanks!
