Got The Blues: Smurfs Take Over Local Elementary
November 1, 2009
Things were looking a little blue Friday at Byrneville Elementary School, and it was all for a good cause.
The school’s faculty and staff agreed to dress like Smurfs if the students and community raised $100 toward sending a veteran to Washington on an upcoming Gulf Coast Honor Flight. People responded; by Friday morning, the school had raised over $300.
“We had a blast doing this, and the kids loved it,” teacher Jacke Johnston said.
