Students from the SAS leadership class
are organizing the first annual Salty Scavenger Hunt, and bike art contest May
10th, downtown
Salmon Arm. They are hoping that we
can get as many high schools as possible to participate
This event is being held in conjunction with the
annual Salty Dog weekend of events, including the bike race May 11 in Salmon
Arm. The Sat May 10 events will include: Interior’s Biggest
Bike Swap (private sales), Little Kids’ Run Bike Parade, Downtown High School
Student scavenger hunt, Kids art and fun area, Ride-able bike art display and
parade, Farm animal petting zoo, Downtown wine tasting hosted by various Shuswap
wineries in downtown restaurants, and free live concert by Five Alarm Funk at 5pm.
Scavenger Hunt details:
The event will encompass the Salmon Arm downtown, from
2:15 to 5:00. Participating students will be in teams of
four. Goal to find and locate interesting Salmon Arm peculiars, using any and all
problem solving techniques available. This event will be a mix of geocaching and the TV show “The
Amazing Race”. Participants will have a 2 hour time limit to find 20 items, in
our downtown. The scavenger hunt will be by foot around the downtown area of
Salmon Arm. The top 3 winning teams will be awarded with scholarship fund money,
as well as smaller prizes for the runners-up. We are hoping to have 4 teams
from each interior school in to be involved in our first year.
Bike Art contest:
This
will involve the art class, shop and textiles students as well as anyone else
who would like to express their creativity. Students would team up to create a
stylish yet functional bike – ride able bike art. Each team will select a
member to ride this bike during the bike parade. The school with the best bike
art will be awarded with a grand prize (TBA), as well as smaller prizes for the
runners-up. Prizing will be given out both the winning student’s school, and
the team of designers.
We are hoping that the leadership class in each school
will help spread the word, get other students interested and help organize
teams to participate in each event. If you would like to contact our leadership
teacher, Mr. Gomme, his email is ggomme@sd83.bc.ca
