TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - This week, schools in Leon County have been raising money for several causes and programs.
Some schools are offering fundraising challenges, and if students meet those goals, there will be something for them to enjoy.
Earlier Friday, students at Killearn Lakes Elementary School ran laps as part of its sixth annual "Fun Run."
The challenge is to raise $35,000 that will be used to get more technology.
If students met that goal, the principal and assistant principal would spend a school day camped on the roof.
So far, the school has received more than $41,000 dollars in pledges with one more week left to fundraiser.
"We have used it to purchase smart boards and one-on-one devices for a lot of our classrooms. Fourth and fifth grade, we're getting close to being one-on-one entirely. And then, we're working towards the other grades as well -- laptops, iPads, computers in the classrooms. A lot of technology. That's our goal," said Susan Vinson.
The school of more than 800 students received pledges from people in 41 states and eight countries.
As for the challenge, the school day on the roof will be announced later.
