Who will be our 2010 Biggest Turkey ?
It’s Almost Turkey day!! Who will be our turkey this year?
Get Ready to Vote!! The race is on! GOBBLE, GOGGLE!
Starting this Friday, Nov 12th through next Thurs. Nov 18th, students will have the opportunity at lunch time to buy a vote to go Turkey Bowling and for their favorite MCMS staff member to be our Turkey for a Day!
For fifty cents you get two votes, one vote you choose a staff member to be our Turkey of the Day and one vote that will enter you into the Turkey Bowl Challenge.
The staff member with the most votes at the end of the contest, will be declared “The Biggest Turkey!” Oh, and that “Big Turkey” gets to also wear a really cool turkey costume the entire day!
* (Mr. Riddle has immunity as he was voted our Favorite Turkey last year - 2009).
Your other vote will also enter you into the Turkey Bowl challenge!
On Fri. Nov. 19th, 5 students from each grade level will have their name drawn from the votes and will be demonstrating their bowling techniques as they attempt to bowl frozen turkeys across the cafeteria floor! The winner from each grade will win a prize. OHhhhhhh…. What Fun!
The proceeds from our Turkey Day contest will go to the Front Office Administration Dept to purchase needed supplies.
So remember, voting starts at lunchtime on Friday, November 12th through Thursday, November 18th. Turkey bowling will be on Friday, Nov. 19th.
Votes are just fifty cents each! So get your votes in, and vote as many times as you like!
