Rain Rally raises money for Special Olympics
EAST STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Students in the Poconos are making a splash for a great cause.
The 4th annual end-of-the-year Rain Rally kicked off today at East Stroudsburg High School South.
Students from local school districts gathered at the stadium parking and ran under the water hoses of the local fire department.

East Stroudsburg High School is one of the original schools in PA to hold the Rain Rally event, which is an offshoot of the Polar Plunge fundraiser for Special Olympics.
'This is something I've been doing ever since I started teaching here, so it's just something that's near and dear to my heart. I guess I want everybody to feel the same way that I do about working with Special Olympics, and we have an inclusive club here for Special Olympics that has almost 300 members,' said Aimee Ellison, a special education teacher at East Stroudsburg High School South.
The event helped raise nearly $13,000.
