This is the first time the Leo Club is holding the rubber duck race, said Jack Mondschein, Class of 2013 adviser. Mondschein said he heard about rubber duck races, thought it was a good idea and "we decided to give it a try."

First prize will be $1,000, second will be $200, third will be $100 and fourth, $50.

To purchase a duck, contact Mondschein at mondscheinj@parklandsd.org or 610-351-5600 x 75105. Ducks also will be available for sale at school events.
