A couple of weeks ago, Mr. Calbert approached me and wanted to do something about the trophy cases in the hallway at Black Oak School. The glass has been gone for many years, and most of the dusty trophies were older than our students (some were older than the new principal!). We spent a few minutes boxing up the old trophies, and now the trophy cases are a display area for student work. The first "exhibit" was the T.P. roll creations by Mr. Calbert's class. I loved the creativity of the sailing ship, the wind chimes, and the dachshund. There were great displays if imagination, and the students from all grade levels really enjoyed looking at the projects as they were in line for lunch. We now have Mrs. Ransom's class on display with their "Boxcar Children" dioramas. I was chatting with some of the artists as they were waiting to board the bus the other day. It is nice to see the children get excited about their work being showcased.
Now the question is what do I do with the 5 boxes of trophies (Some dating back to the early 1960's!) that are now stored under the stage?
