Colleton County High School Student Council members recently held a duct tape fundraiser for the Colleton County Animal Shelter that raised $1,000.
The fundraiser was a competition between administration and teachers.
Students were allowed to put money in any selected teachers/administration jar they desired. The teacher and administrator with the most money donated were to be duct taped to a wall at Colleton County High School.
On Thursday, March 17, teacher Ryan Pearson and Principal Maurice Cannon found themselves securely duct-taped to a school wall. Heather Mushrush, the sponsoring teacher for the student council, said she is happy with the donation made and with the students’ efforts to help the local animal shelter.
“This was for the animal shelter, and the students had fun, too,” said Mushrush.
Cannon acted like he wasn’t thrilled to be duct-taped to the school wall, but he later laughed about the fundraiser.
“I’m not really enjoying this. How did I end up getting the most money raised,” he said, laughing. “But I really didn’t mind participating, and it is for a good cause. I am hoping that this teaches the students how important it is to give to important causes, and the animal shelter is a great one.”
