Astros going for $50K as teacher turns 50

Shepard High School teacher and varsity wrestling head coach Scott Richardson will celebrate his 50th birthday on March 14.

He will celebrate in a beautiful way: Raising money at the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics of Illinois. Richardson has participated in the Polar Plunge every year that Shepard has sent a team to the event.

If the Astros raises $11,000, that will push the all-time total (since 2017) by Shepard students and staff members to $50,000. And that would make for a great birthday gift.

Right now Shepard boasts 59 plungers (including Dean of Students Nick Bax, POWER PE staff & students) and just over $6,000. You can help them go for $50K here:
