Pucker Up! Midas Creek Staff Kiss Pig for a Good Cause

Posted on

Midas Creek Elementary School got up close and personal with a pig for a good cause. The school PTA has been hard at work fundraising and brought in Oreo, a Kunekune pig, to celebrate reaching a milestone. A teacher from each grade level and Principal Rossetti each took turns giving Oreo a smooch while the students cheered them on as a reward for the school’s fundraising efforts.

A big thank you to Oreo for dropping by Midas Creek and giving students (and the teachers!) a very memorable day at school.
