Remington Elementary students celebrate fundraising success by taping principals to wall
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- Remington Elementary School students received the fun reward of duct-taping their principals to the wall after raising $29,698 during their annual fall fundraiser.
According to District 49, Remington Elementary School partners with the Booster organization each year for a fall fundraiser. This year, the students raised money for replacing old cafeteria tables, upgrading student bathroom stalls, and expanding school "branding" outdoors.
School District 49 says the students got to vote on an activity, and duct-taping Principal Cassie MacArthur and Assistant Principal Gary Rivas "easily won."
