The ALS Ice Bucket challenge is continuing to pour over Austin.
Pacelli Catholic Schools administrators accepted the challenge Tuesday to celebrate the first day of school, with President Jim Hamburge, Principal Mary Holtorf, Assistant Principal Laura Marreel and Assistant Principal Shawn Kennedy accepting the challenge.
The school’s donations will go to the John Paul II Medical Research facility in Iowa since ALS research there does not involve the use of embryonic stem cells.
Pacelli leaders were nominated by the Kahle, Schara and Blaser families. Pacelli’s students were all out to enjoy the show Tuesday.
Pacelli’s “A-Team” nominated Austin Public Schools Superintendent David Krenz and every principal in Austin.
