School officials get dunked for a good cause

It was a slam dunk at P.S./I.S. 104.

The school hosted its Dunk Day on Oct 22. 

Last year, students held a read-a-thon and logged 1 million minutes of reading time and raised $18,000 for the school. 

As a reward, top winners were able to try to dunk ​​Principal Suzanne Gordon and District 20 Superintendent Dr. David Pretto in a tank filled with water set up at the school’s playground. 

“The students were so excited about the event, and all were a part in person or at watch parties in the school,” said Gordon. “We could not have had a more beautiful day.” 

The event featured a DJ, decorations and, of course, dunking.

“I was very nervous about getting dunked and the water was super cold,” Gordon said. “However, I love the enthusiasm of my students and families and would do anything to show my support for this great reading initiative and their hard work.”
