Belmont Hills Elementary School principal, Kelly McGowan, was lifted to the roof of the school building Thursday, after losing a bet over fundraising dollars for new playground equipment.
The Belmont Hills Parent-Teacher Group was able to bring in over $25,000 in donations for new playground equipment for the school in a 4-week endeavor.
Cornwells Fire Department and Bensalem Township Police Department took part in raising Principal McGowan to the roof of the school, working alongside the PTG and safety and security coordinator, Fire Bucket Truck. With the fire truck ready, students and staff were first recognized for their fundraising efforts, out on the lawn of the school building. At that point, Principal McGowan, armed with supplies for an overnight outdoors on the roof of the school, was lifted to the roof on the fire truck, with the help of firefighters.
Completion of the new playground equipment should take place by winter 2024. Congratulations to the school and the various donors, for their ability to help out the school students with new playground equipment.that I have read and agree
