Teachers at St. Paul鈥檚 School in the city were showing a bit more leg than usual Friday afternoon, or at least the male teachers were.
Principal Quinn Haider and instructors Mike Laskowski and Jeremy Johnson were in shorts, in front of the entire school, as they had their legs waxed.
While there were grimaces on the faces of the trio, and maybe just the hint of a tear, or two, they endured making good on their earlier pledge to students.
Laskowski explained that for the last 12-years the school has raised money for the annual Terry Fox Run held to generate awareness of, and funding for cancer research.
鈥淓very year we鈥檙e looking for new ways to create student enthusiasm,鈥� he said.
This year Laskowski said they wanted to beat last year鈥檚 fundraising effort of $2500, and he came up with the idea of the leg waxing if the students beat the mark.
Haider and Johnson agreed, and the challenge went out to the student body.
The school raised $4000, said Laskowski, adding that translates to approximately $14 per student in the school.
With the goal met, the male teachers made good on their half of the bargain with the very public waxing in front of a loudly cheering student body.
