<b>Sweet reward...</b><br> Moab Charter School student Evan Welch, surrounded by dozens of cheering classmates, tosses a plate containing a “pie” made of whipped cream at MCS Principal Joe Heywood during the school’s year-end family barbecue social on Wednesday, May 15. Welch was one of several students (one from each grade level) chosen by random drawing to get to pelt the principal, as part of a fundraising activity designed to raise money to purchase books for needy children. School officials said that more than $320 was raised by the students during the campaign, which will helps provide books for the kids at MCS. In addition, children’s book publisher Scholastic will match monetary donations with a donation of up to one million books nationwide to nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping families in need, according to Beth Logan of the MCS board of directors. The students all succeeded in nailing Heywood with their well-placed throws. Photos by Jeff Richards
