Waynesburg Central High School’s Polar Plunge Club members took a frosty dip into a frigid pool to support the Special Olympics’ annual fundraiser. The Satu-Raiders took their dip at the Acrisure Stadium location in Pittsburgh on February 27. Each team member collected sponsorships for a team total of $4,047. The Polar Plunge is Pennsylvania Special Olympic’s biggest fundraiser.

This year, 39 Satu-Raiders participated. Katelynn McChesney, Keri Phillips, Mrs. Blair, and Mrs. Layton cheered from the sideline.
