With labels collected in this contest, Sycamore earned $1,500 from BoxTops and over 6,000 Campbells points - enough points to buy 2 boomboxes for listening to literature CD's in the classroom, or 24 playground balls. Thanks to all who sent in labels. Keep saving them for our next contest, coming soon. Chili Cook-Off a Success!The family fun night “Chili Cook-Off” hosted by the Sycamore PTO was a huge success!
Many thanks to all the families that entered chili, to those who came out to enjoy the night with Sycamore family and friends, and to the PTO families that helped with the set-up and cleaning after the event was completed. A special thanks to Ms. Fox who coordinated the fun fall activities in the gym (at the last minute), Ms. Thacker who helped coordinate the café and kitchen areas, the Sycamore Student Council who helped pass out glow sticks to all the students who came. There were 14 different chili-cookin’ teams that entered the contest this year! The following is a list of the team names, the person who entered the chili and the student/s they represented:
The winner by popular vote of the first ever chili cook-off was “Chili Chili Bang Bang”!! The second place winner was “Team Batman”, and third place was Szumski’s Hawaiian Chili”!
