Students Dress Up to Celebrate $10,000 in Donations
October 31, 2017
Sperreng Middle School students had a rare opportunity to dress up for Halloween this year, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of their parents.
Earlier this fall, the Sperreng Parent Teacher Organization challenged parents to donate $10,000 in seven days during the school’s direct donation campaign, and Sperreng families rose to the challenge. To reward their generosity, Principal Dr. Mark Eggers agreed to make Halloween a dress up day for students and teachers – a festivity usually reserved for elementary schools. Dr. Eggers even put on a Dracula cape to join in the fun! In addition to the costumes, students will be treated to a lunchtime popsicle party later this week, with a DJ.
Money raised through the direct donation campaign will go toward purchasing new furniture for the Sperreng library, and technology for students.
