Members of the Student Council Association at Swift Creek Middle School swarmed the hallways on Valentine’s Day delivering carnations to hundreds of excited students. As part of the carnation sale, students also voted for their favorite teacher Cupids and Cupidettes.
This year’s winners were eighth-grade math teacher Clay Hayes and sixth-grade English teacher Rhea Calfee. Hayes surged to a last-minute victory on the final day when his donations went from 45 cents to over $20.
Calfee took the title for the first time in three years, edging past sixth-grade English teacher Colleen Lee in the final week.
Money raised by the SCA sale of carnations will likely be used to purchase classroom novels for English classes.
