Whether it’s in honor of Easter Egg hunts and Cadbury Cream Filled treats or out of an innocent desire to get revenge on some of Central Hardin’s staff members, the annual Egg Head Fundraiser is here for another round of fun!
“…It’s that time again for one of my least favorite ideas that I’ve ever had,” social studies teacher and starter of this event Emily Wortham said.
Some people love it, others, most commonly the victims of the yolk massacre, dread it. However, no matter your opinions, one cannot argue that the Egg Head Fundraiser holds great prevalence in Bruin culture.
For those unaware or new to the tradition, the instructions are simple: “Kids are told to bring in cash (or change) and donate it to the jar [located in the commons during PowerHour] of the teacher they want to see egged,” Wortham explained. “For every $25 that goes in a jar, the teacher gets an egg smashed on their head.”
This year, the teachers will be on grade level teams – three for each class – and a few class points will be awarded to the leading donors. For the extra cherry on top, the winning grade will be allowed to vote for any three teachers from any team to receive an additional punishment. There is one catch to this though; extra punishments will ONLY occur if the fundraising total is over $1,000.
If the Bruin community can surpass this $1,000 goal, the additional punishments served “could be a pie to the face, water dumped on them, or something like that,” according to Wortham.
Fundraising starts TODAY, March 4, and will continue through the 15th. After an official fund count and scoring for each class, egging and any additional punishments will occur.
So break open those piggy banks and pick your targets! Help support the Central Hardin Pep Club by donating and get the chance to smash an ooey-gooey egg on one of these representatives!
