The fifth annual Paris Panther Prowl took place today at the school.
The event, a fundrasier for the Paris School Organization, included a silent auction, games, a display from the Sheriff’s Department bomb squad and SWAT team, a chance to throw wet sponges at the principal, music food, a bake sale and of course the fundraising prowl iteslt around a course set-up on the grounds.
Lisa Ashmus, the event’s chief organizer, said it looked like a record year for the event. About $11,000 was raised just from the stduent’s pledges.
