 The ugly  sweater contest was announced during the assembly on Tuesday, November 24. At the end of the assembly music started to play over the speakers and teachers ran around the gym in ugly sweaters. Then Heather Goodrich, a special education teacher, announced the contest. Ashley Van Ryswyk, another special education teacher, is also involved. Either can be contacted with any questions.
            To enter the contest, fill out the registration form that was sent to every student’s infinite campus email. Once the form has been filled out, take a photo and submit it to #seprocktheugly2015 by December 16. Name and grade must be included. There will be an overall-class winner and individual finalists. The individual finalists will be announced on December 18 via social media and a list that will be posted outside room 322. The overall-class winner will be announced December 22.
            The four individual categories are best homemade/most creative/unique, best couple/twinning, the real deal (bought as is), and school spirit theme. The overall class champion is the class with the most participants.
            Sam Scrignoli is a junior who owns quite a few ugly sweaters, and is planning on participating in the contest.

            “I want to get recognition for my sweaters,” said Scrignoli.
