Ms. Fox Gets SLIMED!

On September 15, faculty and students at Finley-Oates Elementary gathered to watch principal Mary Lou Fox get SLIMED! Donning a rain poncho, shower cap, and goggles, students watched as Ms. Fox had a bucket of purple slime dumped on her head. The sliming was in celebration of the fact that Finley-Oates reached its goal of raising over $2500 to help West Columbia Elementary, a school affected by Hurricane Harvey. Thanks for being a good sport, Ms. Fox! And thanks to everyone who donated change to help the West Columbia students and teachers!
