A local high school is looking to gather funds to support a national trend and cause.

Math teacher Wade Van Vark says he issued a challenge to the Pella High School staff to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. For every $20 donated, a staff member will take the challenge at the Homecoming pep rally this coming Friday, September 26. Donations can be made Monday through Friday at the office at Pella High, and all proceeds will be given to the ALS Association Iowa Chapter.
