School staff subjected to pie in the face for a cause

This week’s Gorilla Gathering at the Gregory School District was more rowdy than usual, and for good reason On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the students at the school held a hat and pajama day to raise money for Suzanne Braun and family. The amount raised was revealed at Gorilla Gathering on Tuesday morning, October 14. But this was more than just a reveal; for each $1,000 raised, a student had the pleasure of “pie-ing” a staff member or teacher. For the first $1,000, Principal Jeff Determan was the recipient of the pie in the face. As the top fundraiser in the elementary, second grader Claire Jacobsen had the honor. Superintendent Sara Anderson was the willing victim for the second $1,000 raised. Third grader Emery Shoemaker was the lucky second place fundraiser who earned the job of applying the pie. And Sophomore Marissa Fischer had the distinction of pie-ing Mrs. Graber for the third $1,000 earned by the students.
