THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS

5/26/2006

As a reward for students raising their scores on state profi ciency tests, Springfield Middle School Principal Matt Geha gets coated with mayonnaise, chocolate syrup, and ketchup. The sweet and sticky free-for-all started yesterday with squirting by students and ended with an invitation to teachers to dump the remaining goo onto his head, which they did with relish. The principal planned to hose himself off before heading home.
