Freeman Elementary Participates in Ice Bucket Challenge

Freeman Elementary recently put their own spin on the ALS ice bucket challenge. Principal, Kathy Hinesley, responded to Coach Dustin Shirey's challenge in a creative way. Mrs. Hinesley turned the challenge that has been sweeping social media into a teachable moment and a way to get the student body involved as well.

Hinesley allowed the students to be present when she was drenched with ice water provided they donated a dollar themselves to ALS. A large number of students gladly handed over $1 each to be a part of Hinesley's ice bucket challenge.

Principal Hinesley also encouraged students to go home and research exactly what ALS is. Watch the video below as Tybricia Young explains what ALS is and Mrs. Hinesley gets her ice bath. Freeman Elementary donated $135 to ALS.
