Charlene Peel, a teacher at John McGregor Secondary School, plants a big kiss on a goat as part of a Feed the Children fundraiser at the school on Friday.
It seems at John McGregor Secondary School, when goat kissing is on the line, the funds start to flow.
The school held a charity fundraiser this spring, which culminated Friday with teachers and a few students smooching a goat.
The goal for the Me to We club at the school was to raise $500. Every $50 represents the purchase price of one goat for the Feed the Children charity. If the students donated $500, the teaching staff would all have to kiss the goat.
The total was sitting $15 shy just prior to the start of the 10:30 a.m. event, but a student came forward armed with a debit card to push the total over the top.
And the money kept rolling in.
RBC’s King Street branch donated $250. Teachers paid cold, hard cash to get out of kissing the goat, or to get a student to participate.
By the end of the event, the goat had chapped lips, and the school had raised $1,350.
