The Chambersburg Area School District is raising money through the Trojan Walk to support more than 1,500 special education students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Donations will directly benefit special education programs across the district. Funds may support sensory modulation areas and tools, community outreach and experiences, and career and transition exploration. The district said donations will not replace district-funded purchases.
As part of the fundraiser, the district will hold a Tundra Tank Challenge on Oct. 1. Four “Ice Block” participants will be paired with four “Ice Cube Sidekicks,” with donations made to either participant counting toward the pair’s total.
When a pair raises $500, the Ice Cube Sidekick will enter the Tundra Tank. At $1,000, the Ice Block participant will take the plunge.
The Ice Block participants are CASD Superintendent Christopher Bigger, CASHS Principal Rodney Brenize, CASD Board Member Michael Hayduk and CASD Director Drew Nelson.
The Ice Cube Sidekicks are CASHS special education teacher Ian Jacobs, CASHS Assistant Principal Steve McNew, CASD Athletic Director Shawn Kimple and Supervisor of Special Education Samantha Bennett.
