Mrs. Fuiten's fifth-grade class at Carroll Catholic School won this year's Children's Health Fair Classroom Challenge. All area fifth-graders were given the opportunity to have a food drive in their schools, with the donations distributed to area food pantries.

The second part of the challenge was to create a food sculpture out of the boxed and canned items. The school creating the best sculpture was deemed the winner. As you can see, the students were very inventive.

The class winning the challenge was treated Thursday afternoon to a movie, soda and a bag of popcorn at the Lincoln Theater 4. Lincoln Chief of Police Ken Greenslate sponsored this event through the Lincoln D.A.R.E. program. David Lanterman, owner of the theater, arranged for a private screening of "Pirates! Band of Misfits" for the students and their chaperones.

The movie was a G-rated, animated 3-D feature.

Bags of popcorn for everyone.

 

 

 

A heavy dose of butter salt does the trick.

"OK, glasses, soda, popcorn. I'm ready. Let's go to the show!"
