Clifford the Gator bobbleheads to benefit Gifford Elementary in Racine

Thu, 05/07/2015 - 8:56am
A cute keepsake is being released for current or former students and staff at Gifford Elementary School in Racine. The school is selling Clifford the Gator bobbleheads for $15 each. Clifford the Gator has been the school mascot for more than 20 years, and Clifford has stood outside the school since 2002. The entire community was shocked to find someone had vandalized it last year. The head was later returned, but it was severely damaged. Clifford’s head was repaired and reattached in September 2014. Five dollars from each bobblehead sold will benefit the school. Funds will be used for student incentives, professional development and family activities. Only 1,000 of the bobbleheads have been made. You can pick one up at the main office and online at www.CliffordBobbles.com.
