WAY TO GO, HCS PENGUIN PLUNGERS!
The HCS Penguin Plunge team jumped into the cold water of Lake Champlain on Saturday after spending a few months raising funds for the Vermont Special Olympics. Our team raised over $11,500 for this incredible group, the third highest total among all schools.
Hinesburg had 31 plungers and had the highest per plunger level of donations compared to all the other schools. Amazing job by all of our students for going above and beyond. A special shout out goes to Mitchell King for raising just under $2,200 and Nora Cudney for raising close to $2000!! Way to go HCS!!
