This week, students at Urbana High School were in for a special surprise during their morning announcements. Mr. Cory Matheny, the school’s Assistant Principal, took a break from his usual administrative duties to read a heartwarming Thanksgiving story to the entire school.
But the fun didn’t stop there. As the last pages of the book turned, Mr. Matheny revealed an exciting school-wide event: a turkey scavenger hunt! In celebration of the holiday season, tiny turkey figurines will be hidden all over the school. The students were encouraged to keep their eyes peeled for these hidden treasures, with the promise of a special prize for those who found the most turkeys.
“I hope you all enjoy the story and the turkey hunt – it’s the perfect way to get into the Thanksgiving spirit.” said Matheny.
The announcement sparked a buzz of excitement throughout the school. Teachers and students alike began brainstorming where the turkeys might be hidden. The hunt not only provided a fun break from the usual routine but also encouraged students to work together and embrace the holiday’s themes of gratitude and togetherness.
As Thanksgiving approaches, the students of Urbana are sure to remember this unique and festive event.
