Mr. Leitch's Winning Colours

Our Christmas food drive at St. Francis collected about 400-500 pounds. Great show. As an incentive I challenged all 'houses' to beat one another. Whichever one won I would have my head painted that color. How do I get into these things? -Mr. John Leitch, Principal

After all the houses in the school pooled their donations, Mr. Leitch humbly submitted his head to all their colours.
