School Principal Kisses a Pig, Gets Slimed
The Pittsburg Primary School campus held a fund raiser last fall for the Parent Teacher Organization to help fund special events held throughout the school year. The conditions for the fund raiser were that, if the campus students could raise $2,000, the principal, the assistant principal, and the special programs administrator would each kiss a pig. If they would also raise an additional $1,000, then the three campus leaders would also submit to being slimed. The students rose to the challenge and raised over $3,000. The Principal, Assistant Principal; and Special Programs Administrator made good on their promises.
