Chantilly: Taking the Plunge for ALS

Students of LearningRx Chantilly accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money and awareness for ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. The challenge entails people getting drenched by buckets of ice water on video and nominating others to do the same, in an effort to raise awareness of ALS. Donations are made for those who want to opt out of the ice bath.

LearningRx director Casey Bauer challenged her students to take the plunge and offered to donate for each person who accepted.

One Centreville student, who was visiting family in Germany over the summer, took the challenge and posted his video from overseas. Ten students and several parents and staff participated in September. Watch the videos at facebook.com/LearningRxChantilly
