To say "thanks" for a great fundraiser, Joe Corbi rewarded some of our students early this year. Mrs. Mays' and Mrs. Dusen's classes received pizza and cookie parties for their high participation. In addition, the students who sold 25 items or more were rewarded with the chance to "Jump for George"! Over 100 $1 dollar bills were taped end to end.... The students each got to "Jump for George"! They did a standing jump and as many "Georges" they jumped over, they got to keep them! Wow! Congratulations to the students below for both their athletic and fundraising abilities!
