Holmes School fifth-grader William Rooney won a contest to take over for Principal Geraldine Petrizzi as Principal for the Day. While acting as principal, William hosted a party in the principal's office, where he used vouchers from Shop the Gold Coast to order Heights Pizza for his friends while 20 percent of what was spent was donated back to the school.
