Festival of Lights – Pocatello

​The Union School (Nampa) Rock-A-Thon is a charity fundraiser where all the 301’s from Biff Hall's class ask for pledges from sponsors (friends, family, neighbors and businesses) to see how long they can rock in a rocking chair. All the money raised will be given to the Idaho Foodbank. This is a project for our class to give back to our community.
