🎨What a colorful day at Hatfield!🎨
After lots of excitement and anticipation, students who raised $300 or more for our school fundraiser earned the chance to Color Splash the Principal! 🥳 Mr. Fountain took it like a champ as students covered him in color while everyone laughed, cheered, and celebrated their hard work! It might have taken some serious scrubbing to get cleaned up, but it was totally worth it for all the smiles! 😄👏
