Cool School Penguin Plunge
Due to COVID, we are unable to plunge in person this year. The event is designed for students and staff to feel like they are at the Plunge without physically attending. It provides a unique experience for all participants, no matter where you are.
The funds raised will provide year-round sports training, competition, leadership opportunities, and health services to 23,000 athletes.
