Teacher at East End Elementary School Chad DuPont plants a kiss on Midnight a show pig owned by Maria Angelo of Cambridge Springs. The school is trying to raise $50,000 to renovate their playground. 25 teachers agreed to have a contest to see who could raise the most money--the "winner" won a chance to kiss a pig in front of the whole school. DuPont raised 229 out of the total 916,21. If you've read my writings here before--you know that this is the sort of thing I really really like about working at this newspaper. We not only take this stuff seriously, we have a great time sharing these stories. Many people comment that there is so much negative news in the world. I think one of the things the Meadville Tribune does best is that they share many many good positive stories as well. This was fun today hearing how loud these kids screamed as DuPont puckered up!

When I was MUCH younger, I, too, kissed a pig but it was a baby, pink one. I just did it because it was so cute.

This is wonderful. Why was it not published in the newspaper? People need to know how wonderful East End Elementary School is and how hard they are trying to raise money. Please put it in the paper.
Thank you.
