Golden Scooper Award

June 10th PTO Ice Cream Social 

Lots of families turn out for the annual ice cream social on Friday evening. In about 40 minutes, FNS & HRD Faculty Members raced to scoop through 35 gallons of ice cream.  Children indulged and then ran around the playground while their moms and dads enjoyed each others company.  The weather was beautiful and everyone had a fantastic time!

Ice Cream Champions
Gold Scooper- Melanie Hitchcock
Silver Scooper-Kate Byrne

Part of the Ice Cream Social tradition is seeing which teacher will reach the bottom of her/his tub first to claim the "Gold Scooper" award.  This year Ms. Hitchock, grade 2 teacher, earned first place.  Her secret strategy... 15 years of experience working summers at Hodgies 2 and using her math skills.  (She surveyed her students in advance to find out the top flavor, then arrived early to claim cookie dough.)  Ms Byrne, gr. 1 teacher, came in second with oreo cookie.
