Taking much glee at Sylvan Elementary School are students, from right, Camerin Duvall, Ta'Lyr Borum, and Taylir Lynam. Why? Among all their classmates at the Sylvania school, they were the top fund-raisers and thus earned the honor of spraying Silly String and dumping shaving cream on none other than their principal, John Duwve, who manages a smile through the goop. Collectively the students raised more than $16,500 in their annual effort to help finance field trips and other activities.
