Hughston "Great Chocolate Caper" May 19, 2000

Principal Luanne Collins  prepared to "take the plunge" into a vat of chocolate pudding at our final assembly on the last day of school.  Local news media representatives and hundreds of students, parents and friends watched as the event unfolded in our gymnasium...

	Mrs. Collins promised the Hughston students at an early spring assembly that she would jump into a vat of chocolate pudding, if the students in our school read a cumulative total of 150,000 minutes in four weeks. The challenge was no match for our students; however, who read more than twice that many minutes!   By the way... Mrs. Collins wears chocolate well!
Our fifth grade PACE students, under the direction of teacher Lisa Wellborn, cooked up this exciting event. They prepared the reading minute logs, advertised the event throughout the school, conducted an art and poetry contest, secured donations, and presented awards to the school's top readers.	5th Grade Hughston "Hershettes" announce the "Chocolate Caper" at an early spring assembly.
