JANESVILLE — T-shirts are being sold in advance of the annual Monroe Elementary School staff-student basketball game to raise money for Monroe Principal Lori Burns, who is battling cancer.

The lavender T-shirts say “Monroe Madness” on the front and “Team Burns” on the back. Cost is $10, but add $1.50 for 2X and 3X sizes.

Orders must be received by Friday, Feb. 22. To order, visit the district’s website.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., with the game at 6 p.m. Friday, March 15, in the gym at Craig High School, 401 S. Randall Ave., Janesville.

A “Buckets for Burns Shoot Out” will be held after the game, at about 8 p.m., in which teams from district schools will compete in a basketball-shooting contest.
