Penguins may not be able to fly, but they can jump, stretch and stand on their tiptoes.

And Clark College’s littlest penguins were doing all three Thursday, as the day care at the school’s Child and Family Studies program ran what it’s nicknamed the Bottom Half Car Wash. The charity event’s name is pretty literal — small students clean the bottom half of the car (or what they can reach), while the adults clean the top half.

The proceeds will go toward the program’s end-of-summer family picnic.
