Liam HalawithMaroon Echoes News A little more than the usual activities occurred during last Friday night’s game against Solon.
The 4th annual Mt. Pleasant Chilli and Soup Contest consisting of soup eating and creative abilities, combines into a wonderful fundraiser for the district. The contest is a plus for chilly football fans and this year benefited the Mt. Pleasant Community Middle School. The middle school will receive all the funds raised at the event via a $1 donation to get a ticket to vote at multiple soup stations. This year’s recipient has started a student program dubbed “Panther Clubs”. “It’s a program aimed at connecting students with their peers and their community,” says Mr. Nathan Lange, Middle School Principal. They have clubs such as Drama Club, Social Media Club, Fishing Club, Book Club, Bowling Club and more. To create a club the students have to come up with a purpose and find a teacher advisor. These clubs take place on Friday’s where school lets out at the regular time they go from 1:45 to 3:15. Many middle school students voiced their opinions about the club options on posters posted on the walls at Mapleleaf last Friday. One student says, “They make school fun.” Another student says, “It gives me time to rest my brain.” Overall, students love the clubs and say they can’t wait for them to meet each week. Among the Soup and Chilli contestants there is the winning team Lincoln Elementary with a mad scientist themed booth serving creole and chicken tortilla soup; the team from Walmart served Angie’s secret recipe; also in attendance is the MPCHS Culinary Arts and FFA Programs serving a taco soup; and last but not least the Mt. Pleasant Middle School with a booth about “Panther Clubs” and a tub of chili to help raise money. Congratulations to the Lincoln Elementary Mad Scientists for winning the Best Soup and Best Presentation awards! Thank you to all the cooks and football fans who braved the cold to sample some warm home cooking. See you next year!
