CanJam

It's time for our 3rd Annual Homecoming Food Drive!! We are again having classes compete for points toward winning the spirit stick in a food drive during homecoming week. The past two years, our students have collected nearly 10,000 pounds of non-perishable food, water and toiletries to donate to local charities.

In CanJam, classes compete against each other to fill the bin of other classes with non-perishable food items. The class with the least amount of food items in their bin each day collects the points toward this year’s Spirit Stick Contest. Points will be deducted for teams that tamper with another class’s bin.

In short, the goal is to fill the bins of your competitors more than they are able to fill your bin. Sounds simple!!

How do classes accumulate point?

Points will be awarded for the overall winner for CanJam as follows:

1st- 100 points

2nd- 80 points

3rd- 60 points

4th- 40 points

In addition, there will also be daily winners based on the collection of food from that day. At the close of each day, bins will be emptied and counted to declare a daily winner. Daily winners will be announced on Twitter (@thomastitans) and the Morning News.

1st- 50 points

2nd- 40 points

3rd- 30 points

4th- 20 points

One way to quickly accumulate points on your opponents is to strategically stuff the bin of your competitors with special designated items. Here are the special target items for this year’s event

Monday- That’s Amore- each item of traditional Italian food equals 2 items.

Tuesday-Taco Tuesday - Any item of traditionally Mexican food counts as 4 items.

Wednesday- Giving Thanks- Any item that would be served at a Thanksgiving dinner equals four items.

Thursday- CanJam Day Each canned food item equals 5 items. Classes add to their own bin TODAY only

EACH DAY- ANY TOILETRY ITEMS WILL COUNT AS THE ITEMS FOR THAT DAY'S THEME. WE ARE PLANNING TO SEND ITEMS TO THE WEBSTER FOOD CUPBOARD. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
