FAYETTE, Ohio Gorham Fayette High School students will be able to pay their way out of classes today.

Students can skip five classes for a $5 donation to the American Cancer Society and its Fulton County Relay for Life fund-raiser planned for June 9-10 at the Fulton County Fairgrounds.

They are to have at least one student from each class walking the track at all times, representing their own minirelay. They also will have a softball tournament. There will be a Fayette Idol contest, dunk tank, movie theater, kickball, and skateboarding in the park.

The students will make cards for the oncology department at the Fulton County Health Center, and the cafeteria will have a cookout.
