Coming up with ideas to help students learn while they are involved in any activity is always a goal for schools.
Schmucker’s PTO accomplished that goal by hosting the “Let Your Lincolns Loose Competition” the week before Presidents Day. This competition was for all advisory classes. The goal was to help raise money for Schmucker’s student field trip fund; $850 was raised to help fund field trips for all three grades.
Today the winners of the contest were treated to breakfast and got to duct tape Mr. Fry to the wall! See the photo gallery below.
The winning advisory classes were:
6th Grade-Mr. Osler
7th Grade-Mr. Sears
8th Grade-Ms. Burnett
Points could be earned five different ways:
- Reciting the Gettysburg Address from memory was worth 1000 points
- $5.00 donations were worth 500 points
- Writing a letter to elected officials was 300 points
- Making a log cabin (honoring Abe Lincoln) was worth 200 points
- Creating a Lincoln meme was worth 100 points
