Ollie the pig sits in a wagon while getting pats on the head from Principal Penny Caldwell

Leicester Elementary Principal Penny Caldwell believes in keeping promises, even if it means she’ll have to pucker up to a pig. 

If the PTO fundraiser reaches its goal, Ms. Caldwell has promised to kiss Ollie, a friendly pig who loves scratches behind his ears and riding in a wagon. The students got to meet him when the fundraiser launched at the end of August.

Sometimes you have to kiss a pig to make big things happen!”

The Leicester PTO fundraiser ends this Friday, Sept. 27. If you’d like to help, contact the school
