ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

To keep things interesting, we have added to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge! No one wants to see Mr. Hutchison take a bucket alone and we want to raise lots of money for this important cause. There will be a table set up in the cafeteria during all lunches starting today until Thursday May 9th to vote for a staff member to take the challenge alongside Mr. Hutchison on Friday May 10th. Drop some change or a few bucks in some buckets. The staff member with the most money in their bucket at the end of the day next Thursday will be drenched with Mr. Hutchison next Friday. Thanks to the fun and good sports for volunteering!
