11th Mr. PVHS crowned on Thursday

One lucky little boy was crowned as the Mr. PVHS yesterday.   7-year-old Boston Gentry and his family were treated like royalty by Pine View High School with a ride in a Helicopter to the school’s stadium where cheering students awaited their arrival.  The Helicopter landed near the football field and the family was brought in on Gators through a crowd of dancing cheerleaders to a crowd of High school students cheering them on.

Pine View High School Students and staff worked hard to raise over $40,000 for the family to help pay for Boston’s medical expenses. Boston was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. There is no cure for the illness, but it can be managed through physical Therapy and Corticosteroids. 

This is the 11^th year the school has done this charity.  It originally started by the Health Occupation Students of America Club to raise money for a family in the community facing a major medical challenge but is now organized by Pine View High School student council.
