CHARLOTTE — Students at Shamrock Gardens Elementary got an unusual reward after their PTA raised more than $80,000 during this year’s Shamrock Shuffle — they duct‑taped their principal, Natalie Legra, to a wall.
The fundraiser money is going toward supporting capital improvements at the Country Club Heights school.
Those improvements include UV window tinting for the gym, new playground picnic tables, phased turf upgrades, a covered carline walkway, and improved lunchroom acoustics.
