After Meeting Reading Goal, Students Turn Principal Into Ice Cream Sundae
SNOW HILL – Students at Snow Hill Elementary School celebrated the culmination of a schoolwide reading project with a sweet treat this week.
The end of the One Book, One School program at Snow Hill Elementary provided students with the chance to turn their principal into an ice cream sundae on Monday.
Principal Mary Anne Cooper sat in a kiddie pool, wearing plastic coveralls and goggles, as kids took turns slathering her with ice cream and chocolate syrup in the cafeteria at the Snow Hill school. In spite of the raucous laughter and squeals of glee as Cooper was coated in dessert products, the children remained aware of why they were being treated to such a good time.
“She wants us to learn fluency,” one second-grader said.

Does anybody else think this is a bad idea? Rewarding a student by allowing him to demean the teacher makes for a bad lesson plan to me.
And it is a waste of good food. Seriously. That's not a good lesson.
So right after an article on how soon to be expired meat is being used to feed the hungry,we get an article involving the waste of expensive dairy products.The irony!
Were any of you ever children? Don't you think this would of been something you would of loved to do when you were a child or did you just walk around with a stick up your asses.
4:01, no, I would NEVER have considered laying a HAND on a teacher or Principal! They were to be respected and listened to and OBEYED! Pleasing them was our JOB, and successfully pleasing them and getting good grades made them happy. Their compliments on my work and accomplishments was MY reward.
That was 1959-1972. Now, it's just a zoo. The BOE has made this happen.

Gee, there doesn't seem to be any rebuttal here. 4:01, did you die or something?
LOL.
7:28 Just as I thought the stick is still up there. I'm from class of 81 and not a prude. What Snow Hill Elementary did was encourage the kids to read and meet a goal in return they had some fun. I think some of you are jealous.
