On Sunday, March 1, our club Macs LEAD along with Brother Rice, took the Polar Plunge in honor of Special Olympics. Our team, Best of Both Worlds, raised over $13,000, the second most money raised by any high school. This is the 8th year Mother McAuley has participated in the Polar Plunge.

Shout out to the members of Macs LEAD and moderators, Mrs. Amanda Sullivan and Mrs. Jennifer Murzyn for their fundraising efforts and taking the time on their long weekend to plunge for a great cause!
