TEACHERS at Edithvale Primary School took the cold plunge last week to raise money for the FightMND foundation.
More than a dozen teachers and community leaders jumped into the ice bath last Tuesday for the fundraiser. The event was organised by student leaders at Edithvale Primary School.
Edithvale Primary School acting Principal Hayley Grindley was among those who took part. She said the event was “a great success”. “Another year at Edithvale Primary School supporting Fight MND. Our student leadership team – our kids from Year 5 and 6 – are just so amazing and hardworking, and today’s it’s paid off,” Grindley said. “It was icy. I tried not to get my head and mouth in the water but I copped the whole thing.”
Kingston councillor Hadi Saab also attended. He said “Fight MND is really getting traction. Year on year I see it building and I see more schools and community groups getting on board and it’s fantastic to see.”
