Students and staff took an icy dip at Stillwater Area High School all for a good cause. More than 100 people participated in the Polar Plunge as temperatures felt like just 13 degrees.
The event raised more than $21,000 for Special Olympics Minnesota with 35% going directly to SAHS's Unified programs, which are designed to break down the barriers that separate those individuals with and without disabilities. Watch the video.
