Which Social Studies teacher would you like to see perform a crazy stunt?
August 20th, 2010 by kellypaynter in Book Fairs · No Comments
As part of our “What Would You Do for Reading?” promotion during next week’s book fair, eight daring social studies teachers have volunteered to perform a crazy stunt during the September 3 pep rally!
There will be a voting table in the commons. Students can throw change in the teacher’s jar whom they wish to win. Every student who donates at least $1 can vote on the stunts, which include (1) pie in the face, (2) get covered in silly string by students, or (3) female teacher dresses as a football player; male teacher dresses as a cheerleader.
So….which teacher do you want to win?! Make sure to vote next week in the commons!
All proceeds benefit the media center, and for every dollar raised, Scholastic Book Fairs will donate a book to Toys for Tots!
