Arnoldsburg Summer Academy - 500 books! How Would You Like Your Eggs?

(08/09/2002)

Submitted by Dan Cosgrove Students of Arnoldsburg's Summer Academy and Kinder Academy had set a goal of reading a combined total of 500 books during their 5-week summer programs. If students reached the goal, something nasty was going to happen to me! It came down to the last week. On Monday of the final week students were 70 books shy of reaching the goal. Would I escape what was planned for me? That question was answered the very next day when Jordan Mace walked down the hallway with book report number 500 in hand-they did it! Eggs would fly, and I would be the target! I think I want to thank Sav-a-Lot in Spencer for donating all the eggs. The Sav-a-Lot employees had way too much fun piling up the eggs. I thought 3 or 4 eggs would be enough but they just kept filling the cart. I quit counting at the 200 mark. I think they felt 500 books deserved 500 eggs! Please note, since we didn't want to send a wrong message about wasting food, all the eggs were ones that were previously pulled from the shelves and would not have been sold to the public-students were informed of this. I know I want to thank Tom Wilford for making the screen that protected me from the blunt of the attack.
