Game Show Fun

In October the Springville Junior High School sold cookie dough as a fundraiser. The reward for selling four tubs of cookie dough was the opportunity to participate in an ultimate game show! The game show was a way to reward students with something that everyone wants, MONEY!! The game shows took place in the auditorium. “I am always changing the reward 'show' to keep the things different and mix it up,” Alan Anderson, the game show host and representative of the Great American Fundraiser Company, said “and I thought that it would be cool to give away cash prizes."

The students loved it. At the beginning of the year the school had a assembly that introduced the fundraiser. When the students learned that they would be getting money during the game show, everyone yelled and screamed. “It was really exciting to go and win money,” said one student that went to the game show, “it was also really easy. All you had to do was sell four tubs of cookie dough.”

There was a lot of work that went into the game show though; the schools had to provide all the money for the game show, and the Great American Fundraising Company had to provide the actual game show. SJHS provided six hundred dollars and gave it all away. There are about 30 other schools through out the Box Elder and Utah counties that participated in the game show.
