Damascus principal duct taped to wall for scholarship fundraiser

Damascus Elementary School Principal, Caitlin Reash, and school secretary Corie Sands, spent a recent Friday afternoon duct taped to the gymnasium wall as part of a PIE scholarship fundraiser. From Feb. 19-22, students purchased strips of duct they would use to duct tape their principal to the gym wall. A total of $1,952.71 was raised from this year’s fundraiser, which was more than double the money raised last school year. As a bonus for the students — since they raised more than their $1,350 goal — the school secretary was also duct taped. The top two students who donated the most money also got to “pie” Reash and Sands in their faces. This event is done each year. All money raised funds the Damascus PIE Scholarship, which is given to one graduating senior who attended Damascus Elementary School for at least four years. “It was a messy and fun fundraiser, but the entire school really looks forward to it each school year,” Reash said. “I am especially proud of my students for doubling the total dollars we raised last year and help aid this great scholarship.” Shown above, from left, From left to right, second grader Tagg Mumford, Corie Sands, Caithlin Reash and kindergartener Linden Fannin.
