Winners of the “Wonka Golden Tickets” Receiving Their Prizes

Once again on September 13th this year, we paid homage to the all-time children’s favorite author, Roald Dahl. Lower school teachers decorated the school with a decidedly Roald Dahl twist and dressed as some of his most notable characters. Our cooks made some fantastically gruesome worm-spaghetti covered with nasty bits and pieces from Mr. Twit’s beard, (The Twits), horrible snozcumbers, (The BFG) and Bruce Bogtrotter’s Chocolate Cake, (Matilda). High School teachers used their planning periods to come down to the library and read Dahls’ books to the younger learners. All day long the lower school students tried their very best in class as they knew they had a chance of winning one of the prized “Wonka Golden Tickets.” The lucky winners in Grades 1-6 each received a copy of a Roald Dahl novel.
