Students at the St. Peter Lutheran School recently held a fundraiser to help purchase a new bullet-proof vest for the North Judson Police Department’s K9 Jimy.
At Monday evening’s Town Council meeting, Town Marshal Kelly Fisher shared that about $630 was raised through the school’s fundraiser. Marshal Fisher, K9 Handler Officer Rico Simpson and his trusty partner Jimy went to the school at the end of November in order to take part in the incentive event that was promised to students.
Fisher explained, “Over a week, the kids had to raise money and they had a jar that they put the money in for the principal and, I believe, the vice principal and whoever got the most got duct taped to the wall so we went and participated with that.”
Other faculty members had jars in their classrooms as well. The two jars that gathered the most funds were those belonging to Principal Rhonda Reimers and 7th and 8th-grade teacher Steve Lee. As promised, the principal and teacher were good sports and allowed themselves to be duct-taped to the wall in the gym to celebrate the successful fundraiser.
