MONROE - High school students took to the ice Friday at StateLine Ice and Community Expo to raise money for the Apostolate to the Handicapped.
The first high school skate night could be termed a success if success is measured in how much fun the kids had helping to raise money for people who can't get out on the ice and skate.
They laughed and skated around the rink and some who were better at skating than others, took turns racing to see who was faster.
Terri Wiegel and Missi Moats decided to take advantage of kids' love for skating and combine it with a fundraiser many of the kids are involved in already.
"Our kids' friends are always saying how much they like to skate so we thought this would be a good fundraiser," Moats said.
Brent Krebs, 18, Monroe, is a commentator on Monsignor Thomas Campion's television show. Skating was a great way to spend a Friday night with friends and help the Apostolate to the Handicapped, he said.
Klein was just one of about 50 teens who came out to skate, listen to music and eat some snacks.
Campion smiled as he walked into SLICE and saw the teens who came out for his cause. He walked around and shook hands, thanked everyone, told the teens how much he appreciated what they were doing. He even made sure some of the guests had some hot chocolate.
