On February 6, 2016, the California Area School District Foundation will be having their “Frosty Frolic”. This very cool event, where people of all ages will plunge into the frosty Monongahela River, will help to provide scholarships, grants and other support of the students and teachers of the California Area School District.

The registration fee for an individual to participate to plunge is $10, and this year, there is a wade option with a $20 registration. All registrants receive a t-shirt for the event. Donors are requested to support the plungers, and teams of river rompers are also being formed, so there are many ways to participate.
