This afternoonB次元官网网址檚 Principal Pie Roll at McNeill Bay took three tries to organize, but the students of Monterey Middle School were well rewarded for their efforts.

Principal Ken Andrews created a tradition last year where heB次元官网网址檒l do something silly if the Athletic Leadership students hit their fundraising target. The students raised $8,636 through school events and entertainment book sales.

B次元官网网址淓very year the kids go out and they do fundraising for our athletics program. ItB次元官网网址檚 wonderful, it brings us extra sports equipment beyond what we have in our PE supplies and pays for our athletics fees. We have a huge athletics program at Monterey,B次元官网网址� Andrews said.

This year, students gathered suggestions on what the reward would be. It included a pie in the face and swim in the chilly waters off Oak Bay today (May 1). He made the counter offer of an attempted kayak roll and a pie to the face. Though if he blew the role, he had to do a swim of shame.

B次元官网网址淚 hope I donB次元官网网址檛 blow my roll,B次元官网网址� he said ahead of the dip. Unfortunately, the principal blew it well ahead of the attempted roll, bringing the wrong spray skirt for his kayak. Andrews took the pie to the face then swam it off in the bay.

Stormy weather kept pushing the date for the event, but sun prevailed on this occasion. The kids organized the event, adding to the learning curve with something fun.

B次元官网网址淧art of what school is doing is community building. In fact I think itB次元官网网址檚 one of the most important things we do,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 an example of the Monterey school community pulling together, having a vision and doing something fun to celebrate it.B次元官网网址�

Gotta love our Leadership Students. As a result of yesterdayB次元官网网址檚 Pie & Roll turned into Pie & Swim due to me bringing the wrong-sized kayak skirt - see - today they presented me w this well-fitted skirt to wear (and a sun hat to boot)!
