Adopted Family Team 6
by Bobbi Williams
Teams of administrators, teachers, secretaries, cooks, and custodians have joined forces to raise money to adopt needy families for Christmas. Six teams consisting of Central School personnel will via for the opportunity to kiss a farm animal.
Students vote by placing money in containers with the teams' pictures on them. Containers are placed in various classrooms throughout the campus. They are also available in the office and cafeteria. To vote for a team to kiss a farm animal, coins should be placed in the team's container. Every cent in coins counts as a point toward the team total. To vote against a team, place dollar bills in the team's container. Paper money subtracts points from the team's total. The team with the highest (positive) number at the end of the competition on December 19 will have the pleasure of kissing a farm animal. The coronation of winners will be on December 21.
As usual, the votes will be counted by the scientific accounting firm of Decker and Ellis. Although they have been known to lose track of the votes, their decision will be final.
Team 6 -- The Oldies and One Goodie: Mrs. Williams, Mr. Redden, Mrs. Wheatley, and Mr. Eddington. -- in their own words:
The final team is the oldies and one goodie. Mrs. Williams, Mr. Redden, and Mrs. Wheatley want you to vote for someone else -- they don't care whom else as long as it isn't them. Mr. Eddington asks that you respect your elders and vote for anyone from teams one through five. However, Mr. Eddington did note that most of the members of the team won't remember they kissed a farm animal since they are getting so old and senile -- but he will so consider your votes carefully.
Mr. Eddington dedicates "I Want to Grow Old with You" to the members of his team.
