Thanks to all who participated in Challenge Week!

You raised over $700 to benefit the Free the Children's Education Campaign.

Interesting Challenges:

  • The Public Safety Communications class held a bake sale and raised $300 to support the campaign!
  • Linda Gomes challenged numerous colleagues to competitive Scrabble, and remained undefeated through the week. Some even donated in order to avoid the scrabble!

    • Elise and Kurt challenged themselves to climb the Chief, the Lions and the Grouse Grind in one day…and survived.
