Plus, lots of photos

Ada elementary principal, Ben Thaxton, says his favorite ice cream sundae is a banana split.

Too bad elementary students didn’t know that on Friday morning. They’d have somehow fit bananas into their “turn Mr. Thaxton into a sundae,” project.

This all came about when elementary math students raised funds for St. Jude’s Math-A-Thon. The students topped their goal of raising $5,000 by reaching $6,127.76. Fund were raised as students received pledges to work on math problems.

And, Mr. Thaxton promised to be turned into a sundae if the $5,000 goal was met.
