Gendreau told her students that if they raised $25,000, she would take the leap.
The Parent-Teacher Organization set up the fundraiser and the funds go towards field trips, school supplies, and other necessities.
Gendreau said once she made the promise to her students, she couldn’t take it back.
She believes it’s important to follow through on something you say you’ll do.
“After my face stopped jiggling because the pictures are quite funny, I was just floating around like a bird and a lot of the kids now want they’re like, Ms. Gendreau, I want to do that! I’m afraid of heights too, but I want to do that,” Gendreau said.
