Central Principal gets duct-taped to wall after students surpass fundraiser goal
Central Elementary Principal Mrs. Melissa Williams found herself in a sticky situation after students surpassed the spring fundraiser goal of $10,000.
On Monday, Mrs. Williams made good on her promise to students that she would allow herself to be duct-taped to a wall if they met the goal. They did and then some, raising just more than $12,000.
On Monday, PTO board members Katie Dodds, President, Jenni Leask, Vice President, Annelies Kinzie, Treasurer and Sara Duncan, Secretary, began the process of taping Mrs. Williams to the wall as students entered the building. Once they were done with the taping, all classes came down to walk by and see their principal.
As the PTO members were taping Mrs. Williams, student Zev Makled said to his principal, "You look like a person that's ready to quit their job!"

For her prize, student Alice Field chose to be the PE Teacher of the Day alongside Mr. Stephen Culbert.
