Shields earns Mega Party for raising $48,000
Shields Elementary students raised $48,000 in a school fundraiser this year earning them a Mega Party sponsored by the PTO. There were inflatable games - a sticky wall, moon bounce, jousting and a wrecking ball course. The day was complete with a photo booth and popcorn. Top sellers had turns in a money machine to earn cash. Pictured are (l-r) Trey Leggins, Max Childers, Barritt Ross and Hussain Mahdi.
