How do you convince an 8-year-old to come to school — On a Saturday — to get a shot?

One of DeKalb County’s largest elementary schools decided to dress its principal in a full-body Superwoman suit, complete with a red cape, in order to promote a hero-themed COVID-19 vaccine drive. On Saturday, Indian Creek Elementary School officials in Clarkston predict more than 300 kids and their family members will line up to get a vaccine.

Of course, with the superhero theme comes another incentive. Everyone getting a first, second or booster ages 5 and up will walk away with $100 cash card.
