TAKING ONE FOR A CAUSE

ILLUSTRATION: Photo

Students at Independence Middle School were given a real treat in

October, when they surpassed their United Way fund-raising goal of

$1,000. Eighth-grade assistant principal Michael Halperin agreed to

take a pie in the face after the students raised $1,365.31. Iris

Nimmo, last year's eighth grade assistant principal, did the honors,

much to the enjoyment of student spectators.
