Waukesha Principal Sprayed With Slime 98 Times For Fundraiser

WAUKESHA, WI — A Waukesha principal took 91 pies to the face last year. This year, she danced around the school in an inflatable chicken suit and camped overnight at the school.

That would be enough for any educator.

But not Banting Elementary School Principal Mary Garcia-Velez, who is known never to turn away from a school-related challenge. On Wednesday, she agreed to be slimed 98 times.It was for a fundraiser the PTO put on for the school. The majority of the money raised will be used to replace old playground equipment

Banting Elementary’s PTO-sponsored Ninja Challenge is a two-week-long online fundraiser that concludes with students getting the opportunity to take part in a fun, healthy obstacle course during gym class.The Ninja Challenge raised more than $21,000 – 40 percent above its goal – thanks to the enthusiastic school culture, fostered by Garcia-Velez.

“Mary is an exceptionally dedicated leader whose contagious excitement makes a huge difference for a fundraiser like this,” said PTO President Jessica L. Gonzalez. “The kids see her having fun and naturally want to be a part of it. The sense of community and school spirit the Ninja Challenge has inspired is incredible.”

Kids brought in their own money, emptying piggy banks and selling their toys, to get a new playground, Gonzalez said. The 98 students who raised $100 or more through the Ninja Challenge got to spray slime at Garcia-Velez.

“Get A Good Slime On Her”
First in line was third-grade student Alex Vega, who raised $1,337 by selling a number of his prized WWE toys online.

Vega was decked out in his bacon-and-egg pajamas, an extra incentive for hitting his goal.
