I've got to eat what?

Erica Greer, Polk Elementary School's principal, prepares to eat a chocolate covered worm. It's the price she paid when she challenged the school to donate 300 toys for Toys for Tots. She said that if they reached the goal, she would complete a Fear Factor challenge of eating a chocolate covered cricket, chocolate covered worm, put her hand in a bunch of live worms to pull a key out that unlocked a box that held the

monetary donation to a local charity, and shoot a basketball blindfolded. "I'mexcited that the school met their goals and in fact, exceeded it by 20 and that everyone supported the charity. I can 'swallow' it for the kids," she said with tongue in cheek, but she didn't "relish" it.
