On Nov. 21, the Gunn Key Club hosted a Teacher Tape-Up fundraiser, in which four teachers who were asked by Key Club allowed themselves to be taped up to pillars in front of the Student Activities Center (SAC).

The teachers stood on chairs in front of the SAC pillars while students taped them to the building. At the end of lunch, the chairs were pulled out from under the teachers. “This event is something we came up with a couple years ago and it has been a big hit every time for teachers and students,” senior Key Club Human Relations Chair Gabby Ng said.

After receiving approval for the event from the Student Executive Council, Key Club chose teachers Mark Hernandez, Dave Deggeller, Claudia Winkler and Lisa Wu as participants. The club then publicized the event with posters and an announcement on the Early Morning Update.

The event was fun for the crowd. “It was a really fun fundraiser, considering you get to tape your teacher to a pole in front of the whole quad,” senior Key Club member Jessica Chan said.

Key Club raised about $80 from the sale of one-yard strips of tape, which sold for 25 cents each. “The project was not so much to raise a lot of money but for publicity so we can get more volunteers for other projects in the future,” Ng said. “The event was a huge success; a lot of people showed up and enough tape was sold to stick all the teachers to the poles.”
