ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Visits Hightower Trail

Perhaps you have heard of the fund raising event, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  This event is to raise money for ALS.  Many have done it.. TV celebrities, sports heroes and coaches, movie stars.. you name it.. they have done it.  What is it you might ask?  Well, it is really pretty simple.  Collect money so that someone can watch you get a bucket of ice water dumped on your head.  

The challenge came to my school on Friday!  I think all the schools in Conyers were having a challenge.  There was  even a bet from our superintendent that he would participate at the school which collected the most.  My school won with over $1,000.  But he was not able to be there on Friday, so we will see him getting dumped on Monday.

Friday was an awfully hot day.  The ice melted as quickly as it was dumped into the buckets.  Mrs. Bates was such a sport!  Also a teacher from each grade level was dumped prior to Mrs. Bates.  The kids loved it and we raised good money for a worthy charity.

Supporting worthy causes is definitely in my country living!
