Penguin Plunge

By Zachary Calley

The Penguin Plunge is held in February at Hampton Beach, and students from different cities attend it. We have anywhere between four to eight students attend this event from our school. “This year is going to be great,” says Mr. O'Dougherty who does the Penguin Plunge every year. He says that it’s a good experience for those who attend it because you make new friends and hang out with the friends you have now.

The Penguin Plunge is in the winter and the temperature is often ten below. There are at least four of our students that regularly attend the Penguin Plunge and their names are Peter England, David England, Charlie Bartlett, and Paige Cook. New faces have been popping up also.

The Penguin Plunge is a great opportunity to help the Special Olympics. The road to get to the Plunge isn’t an easy one. The first step is that the participant has to raise the money needed by getting sponsored.
