On February 28th, the Avonworth students joined the Polar Plunge spirit for Special Olympics. With a temperature around 40 degrees, students experienced a different type of winter water challenge, though. Freshman Melody Zheng and Rory Dinkfelt were supported by Miss Wickert and Mrs. White for organizing, promoting, and running the first ever Rain Rally at AHS, which raised $782 dollars from participants for Special Olympics. Instead of a quick dip into a temporary pool, or jump into the Allegheny, local firefighters blasted out students and a few teachers on a sunny but crisp Friday.

For the occasion the fire truck from Ohio TWP District came to spray our courageous students.
In addition of the spray from the fire truck, water bomb was provided for the participants who tried to soak everyone nearby.

 

Mr. Wells and Mr. Johncour joined the game, using extreme measures to make sure everyone was soak from head to toe

 

As a reward for their bravery, the courageous ones were offered hot chocolate or cappuccino to try to warm up before heading back to class.

 

The cost for a participation was 10$, and 20$ if you wanted a tee shirt, $782 was raised for the Special Olympics !!!!
