After raising more than $6,000 for Special Olympics Pennsylvania, members of the Franklin Regional Unified Club were ready to celebrate.
Typically, that celebration takes the form of the annual Polar Plunge held at Heinz Field and pitting kids and adults alike against the shattering cold of Western Pennsylvania water in February.
With covid-19 precautions in place, however, the larger celebration was localized this year, and FR students and staff organized the “Cool School Plunge,” using a large Rubbermaid tub to do a little bit of mini-plunging, with the hose turned on for good measure.
