Students at Blades Elementary School in Oakville had the last laugh on Monday morning after taping their principal to a gymnasium wall. 

Don't worry: It wasn't a case of the students revolting. It was simply a part of the school's participation in Jump Rope For Heart, a program to raise money and awareness for the American Heart Association. The school raised $3,400 through the program. 

To encourage greater participation, Principal Jeremy Booker let any student who donated $10 help tape him to the gym wall using Duct tape. 

All of the action is captured in a time-lapse video posted on the Mehlville School District's YouTube page. The video also is attached to this article.
