Midas Creek staff kiss a pig as Riverton school PTA marks a fundraising milestone

Staff at Midas Creek Elementary in Riverton kissed a pig named Oreo to celebrate a PTA fundraising milestone, the Jordan School District says.

Automated reporting, from the sources cited below. How this paper is made.

A teacher from each grade level and principal Teresa Rossetti each took a turn kissing Oreo, a Kunekune pig, while students watched, as a reward for the school's fundraising effort, the Jordan School District said in a post published Sept. 15 1. The school's PTA "has been hard at work fundraising" and brought the pig in "to celebrate reaching a milestone," the district wrote 1.

The district's post does not state how much the PTA raised, what figure the milestone represents, or when the celebration took place, and it names no student 1. Midas Creek Elementary sits at 11901 S Park Haven Lane in northwest Riverton, and Rossetti is its principal, according to the district's school directory 2. The school's own site describes its PTA officers and parent volunteers as providing "hours of service to the school each week" 3.
