March for Maria

Students at Riverside Intermediate School in Plymouth showed their support for a fellow student in a battle for her life.

Riverside participated in a week of activities to raise support for Maria Gonzalez who faces surgery for a brain tumor. The brave 10 year old knows what is in store for her. This is her second fight with the tumor that went into remission after chemo treatments.

Part of a week of activities at the school Riverside took advantage of the day to stage "March for Maria". The day was declared "Blue Sky Day" for 5th grader Maria Gonzalez since that is her favorite color. The weather on Friday even cooperated as the school was able to raise over $2000 to help with her family's expenses as they take Maria to Bloomington for three weeks of treatment.
