In focus: Chehalis students don orange for Hunter Wilson Day

Chehalis School District / Courtesy photos Students in the Chehalis School District dressed up in orange Friday in recognition of Hunter Wilson Day. Wilson, a high school sophomore, was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) this summer. Last week, the Chehalis School Board declared Friday as "Hunter Wilson Day" through a proclamation. In an interview with The Chronicle, her mom, Alyssa, described the teen as “vivacious” and a “spitfire.” “Everything she does is with pure intentions,” Alyssa said. On Saturday, Wilson’s family hosted a “Hope for Hunter” breakfast fundraiser at McFiler’s Restaurant and Bar in Chehalis.
