In the spirit of charity, Blackville School teacher Mr. Mason allowed himself to be subject to "teacher torture" in a fundraiser at the school. On Wednesday, May 4, one student from each home room had the chance to "share" a pie with Mr. Mason during a school assembly in the gym. Mr. Mason was the school's choice for the teacher torture and a pie was auctioned off in each homeroom for students. The event raised over $400.00 for the school's Free the Children Adopt a Village Initiative and was organized by students. For more photos from the event, click here.
