The Medic Mavericks team consists of Fleming students Danielle Blavert, Theo Guenther, Keyanna O’Rourke, Emily Escott, Maddie Mason-Gaynor, and Taiya Martin.
A goal of $1,000 is set to help the hospital’s cause.

Danielle Balvert, Sam Joyce, Hannah Carson, Stephan Nguyen-Duong, Theo Guenther and Taiya Martin are the Fleming students taking part in this year’s 31st annual Polar Plunge. The team has already raised $697 to support the hospital.
