Ice Bucket / Coin Drive Update - Final Day
The final day of our Ice Bucket Challenge Coin Drive was a busy one! Five-dollar bills were flying in for last-minute saves, while coins and many one-dollar bills kept pushing certain teachers closer and closer to that icy plunge. Our final leader ended with over 8,000 points!!
Which brave staff member will face the bucket of ice water?
The big reveal will happen later this month at a school assembly, where the entire student body will get to watch the moment of truth — and the icy splash!
Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this fundraiser so much fun!

Ice Bucket/Coin Drive Update – Day 3
How quickly things can change! Mrs. McKissick and Mrs. Toggas were looking cooked… until a late save with a couple of five-dollar bills!
Now Ms. Quinn has jumped into the lead with 1,820 points!
But don’t count the others out just yet. With just a few dollar bills, Mr. Clark (735 points) or Mrs. Toggas (408 points) could easily take the lead! Who will our students put at the top of the leaderboard tomorrow...

Ice Bucket/Coin Drive Update

After the second day of our coin drive, Mrs. McKissick is just holding on to her lead with 579 points. However, Mrs. Toggas, at 328 points, and Mr. Clark with 310 points are not too far behind. Just a couple of dollars in either of those jars will save Mrs. McKissick! Who will take the lead at the end of the day on Wednesday?

Our Ice Bucket Challenge/Coin Drive is underway and Mrs. McKissick is currently at the top of the leaderboard. Will it stay that way?
