Little feet filed quickly into the gym at Millstream elementary, the children bouncing with excitement. Their smiles of anticipation were hard to miss for staff and parents.

Last week students at the school were given the opportunity to stick it to their vice-principal, literally.

As part of the Canadian Cancer SocietyB次元官网网址檚 Tour de Rock fundraising campaign, students could purchase strips of tape for $1 each, with which they would secure Cory Meausette to the wall of the gym.

As the assembly began Friday, principal Julia Sahota, who has pledged to shave her head if the school raises $5,000, reminded her 210 students why they were there.

B次元官网网址淜ids with cancer would love to run and jump like you did today,B次元官网网址� she said, adding the money they had donated would help those children go to Camp Good Times.

The students payed close attention as she played them a short video on Cops for Cancer and the support they provide for children battling cancer.

But the anticipation was electric as she announced they had raised over $400 with this one fundraiser alone. Meausette, however, began to look a little worried as he geared up in a white hazmat suit to protect his skin from the tape. He had one thing to say: B次元官网网址淚 want my mommy!B次元官网网址�

Jacob Vanlierop, 10, is a Grade 5 student in MeausetteB次元官网网址檚 class and stuck it to his teacher four times over the course of the event. But Jacob didnB次元官网网址檛 forget why they were there.

B次元官网网址淎 lot of children canB次元官网网址檛 go out everyday and do the things we can,B次元官网网址� he said.

He was glad they could do something to help other kids. And as a self-described fan of physics, he predicted that they had bought enough tape to make Meausette stick to the wall.

One student in particular was excited about this fun fundraiser, as staff mentioned he had spent a little time in the office during the previous school year. Well that little boy paid $30 and received a roll of tape to wrap up the event, which he did with a big smile as sweat started to drip from MeausetteB次元官网网址檚 face.

When the taping was finished, the vice-principal looked like he was wearing a suite of armour, but still braced himself B次元官网网址� as much as he could B次元官网网址� as the chair he was standing on was about to be pulled out from under his feet.

Meausette stuck to wall, much to the excitement of the students.

B次元官网网址淚t was getting a little tight near the end,B次元官网网址� he said of the suite, adding that in his mind he was definitely panicking a bit but thinking about the cause got him through it. Getting him off the wall, however, was another story.
