44 Classroom Monotony 1s Broken With Fun And Career The middle school Fun Day was held on Freaky Friday, May 1. Much preparation was involved to set up the numerous booths and games. The most popular booth was the dunking booth which allowed the students the opportunity to drench their favorite, or least favorite teacher. The day became even more exciting when the students moved out to the football field for the relay competition, tug of war, and water balloon toss. Most students were caked in mud after the tug of war. However, they were able to become somewhat clean in the water balloon toss. Fun Day proved to be a memorable day for middle school students. As 5th grader Danielle Isbelle says, It was a lot of fun, that's why they call it Fun Day. Prior to the Fun Day festivities, the middle school coordinated a project known as Pennies From Heaven. This project raised an outstanding sum totaling over $1000. The money was given to Troy Henderson on Fun Day. Troy is a young boy with Muscular Dystrophy whose happiness was expressed with tears as the money was given to him. March 18th was a day which the teachers rearranged their schedules to accomodate for the high school Career Day. Their efforts were truly worthwhile as Career Day proved to be an enormous success. Professionals came to the school to discuss their fields with students that expressed an interest. They gave information concerning their day to day lives in the field, required college courses, and even starting salaries. They were extremely eager to answer any questions concerning their field. Such fields as Physical Therapy, Engineering, Teaching, Law, Special Education, Plastic Surgery, Interior Design, and many others were introduced. It was certainly helpful because students were given the opportunity to understand what life in a particular field would be like. As senior Britton Mangham says, If it doesn't help pick a career, it helps eliminate a career. You can see good and bad things from someone who really knows. After trying her luck at the dunking booth, the ring toss, and can smasher, seventh grader Catherine Barton tests her strength with the hammer. Fifth grader Ashton McGehee uses all of his strength and aim to dunk Mr. Tiberghein while several of his classmates stand by to watch.
