Students in the Advocacy classes at Ogilvie High School, at the behest of the school’s Own It group, engaged in a little friendly competition in November that involved raising funds to purchase Thanksgiving baskets for families in the district.
The goal for the competition was to raise $400; students crushed the goal, raising more than $1,300.Â
If the satisfaction of helping needy families wasn’t enough, the Advocacy class that raised the most money was given the opportunity to toss a pie at Kanabec County Sheriff’s Deputy Dan Schultz. Schultz, Ogilvie’s School Resource Officer, volunteered to be pelted with pie.Â
Winners of the competition were in Mike Bitz’s 9th-grade Advocacy class. Most of the class took a turn at tossing a treat at the deputy, many pausing to smash a pie on top of Schultz’s head. All students in the junior high and high school met in the auditorium on Nov. 17 to witness the pudding pandemonium.
On Monday, Nov. 21, Own It students rode the bus to Coborn’s in Mora to pick up the groceries for the Thanksgiving baskets.
According to Own It advisor Amanda DeVlaemink, the group is dedicated to making healthy choices and giving back to the community. In addition to arranging the Thanksgiving basket fund-raiser, the group has participated in Earth Day projects and will soon gather presents for Toys for Tots.
