Is that Pie in your face??

The students at Arno were treated to a pie in the face from anyone who won a drawing from their classroom.   Every day that a student wore their spirit wear that week, they received one ticket.  Then we had a random drawing in the gym and the could pick a teacher, staff member, and even the principal to throw a pie in the face.  It was a grand time and a great way to reward the Arno spirit!!
