HORNET HAPPENINGS
A Zumba fundraiser for former student Zach Miller will be held noon to 3 p.m. Dec. 7 in the Emmaus High School auxiliary gym.
Miller was in a car accident in 2011 that left him in a coma, and his family needs help paying for his treatment as he has no health insurance. Tickets can be obtained in rooms 335 and 235 or in Principal David Piperato's office. Themed baskets for a raffle are also being collected. Contact Claudia Risi at EHSRisi@ gmail.com for more information.
