Fifth grade student Jewel Alawabdeh applies a liberal amount of whipped cream to Principal Christine Malally’s head on Tuesday during a party celebrating the semester’s end at Condit Elementary School in Claremont. The students elected earlier in the spring to turn their principal into a living ice cream sundae as a reward for good performance on standardized testing. Every year Condit pupils select a stunt for Ms. Malally, which in the past included spending the afternoon on the roof and dressing in a chicken suit.
