Blanchard Answers the Ice Bucket Challenge

The Principal at the Douglas Elementary School in Acton challenged Mr. Labb and the Blanchard Community to participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge to bring awareness of the disease ALS to the public.  Mr. Labb and the Blanchard community answered that challenge with commitment, and creativity!  The entire student body and staff gathered on the playground at 1:30 this afternoon.  Students brought their water bottles or cups of water (some provided by their classroom teachers).  However, the staff did not need to bring water bottles.  Fire Chief White and his staff drove over on their firetruck and readied the hoses....to douse any willing staff member.  And there were quite a few who were willing to endure a soaking.  It was a fun 15 minutes for all of us and a reminder to be grateful for our own health and mindful of the challenges of others.  As soon as the videos are edited, we will post those as well.
