Any good championship game is decided in the final minutes and the Seahawks and the
Patriots, this year’s Super Bowl opponents, have been battling it out at Botelle School for days
now.
Each year, the school holds its “Souper Bowl,” during which the student council sets up boxes
for each team and students are invited to bring non-perishable food items such as soup, pasta,
tuna, mac ‘n’ cheese, peanut butter, coffee and juice boxes to fill their favorite team’s box.
The food will be donated to the Norfolk Food Pantry as soon as a delivery time can be decided.
The competition ends today (Friday) and school secretary Mary Pat Lasko said it has been nip-
and-tuck as to which team will win. “The Seahawks have been slightly ahead,” she revealed,
“but this morning there was more food brought in for the Patriot’s box.”
Each morning, Student Council members count the donations and announce the results to the
student body. As of Wednesday, students and staff had donated 361 items for the Food Pantry
and the Seahawks enjoyed only a five-item advantage.
