When teachers Kelley Woodworth offered half an hour of his time in exchange for financial help for a student, he wasn’t sure what he was getting into.
Students and teachers have been raising funds for weeks, helping classmate Sydney Caspers, recovering from an injury suffered in March.
So far, they raised more than $1,100. Woodworth, physical education and health teacher at North Sashabaw Elementary, told his students they could do what they wanted for 30 minutes if they raised another $10.
‘I thought they would want a free gym class or go outside,? he said.
After discussion, what they chose was to give him a ‘spa day,? with manicure, hair cut, and foot soak.
‘I think it was great ? it was fun,? he said.
The students? fund-raising efforts are typical at North Sashabaw, said Principal Debra Latozas.
‘That’s just how these kids are ? they pull together,? Latozas said. ‘When a family is in need, they get together, come up with ideas, take it to teachers, they take it to me, and off they go.?
