On Friday, September 28, PFMS teachers and staff volunteered to go into a Dunk Tank. Mrs. Kellander, Mr. Walker, Mrs. Bates, Mr. Packer, and Mrs. McDonough were all kind enough to volunteer to be dunked and help the kids at PFMS have a fun day. Here’s are their thoughts about what it was like to “go under.”
Mrs. Kellander, 6th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher
Q: Were you scared?
A: “I was a little nervous but the water was very warm. It was better being in the
water than sitting on top. I was definitely not expecting Mr. Kellander to put me in
the water first.”
Q: How many times did you go in?
A: “I don’t know a lot, like 15 to 20.”
Q: Did you volunteer to do it or did you do it because no one else would?
“I actually wanted to, I volunteered.”
Mr. Walker, PFMS Assistant Principal
