JaeLynn Garry, Katie Underberg, Paola Rodriguez, Allison Sanderson, Krystal Schoenbauer, Faron Lais, Katelynn Beldin and Peter Fixsel braved frigid waters to support Special Olympics South Dakota. The group dressed up as a chicken, Easter eggs and egg collectors.

75 brave plungers leaped into the 55-degree water on April 12. After waiting 20 minutes, the CHS team was excited to finally take the plunge!

Cannonball! Check out these jump shots of the team.
