LPMS takes ice bucket challenge

Students at Liberty Park Middle School watched as their favorite teachers and principal took the ice bucket challenge recently. 

The LPMS Student Government Association sponsored a fundraiser for ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Students were asked to donate dollar bills to nominate their favorite teacher to take the challenge. 

The goal was for more than $2,000 to be raised so the principal would also have to participate. The total raised was $2,170, and all money went toward ALS research. 

Participants included sixth-grade teacher Amy Woodard, seventh-grade teacher Jonathan Jeff, eighth-grade teacher Baylor Knott, PE Coach Joy Bragan and Principal Kacy Pierce. Afterward, there was a Popsicle party for all faculty and students.
