Searsport school group raises $3,000 over holiday

SEARSPORT — A community group working to raise part of the $1.5 million needed to remodel Searsport High School collected almost $3,000 over the holidays.

Save Our School received $945 from a raffle held at the Seafarer’s Tavern for a Princess Beanie Baby. Marge Moody of Searsport won the collectible deep-purple doll with a $5 ticket.

An alumni vs. students basketball game on Saturday brought in $1,923. Over 60 Searsport High School alumni played against members of the junior varsity and varsity teams.

The high school lost its accreditation earlier this year from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, primarily because of structural inadequacies.
