HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - The Cool School Challenge is a yearly fundraiser that puts local middle schools in competition to raise the most money to support the Special Olympics. This year, Plaza Middle School earned the winner's title for the eighth year in a row, raising $13,578 to donate towards the cause.
