Prince Philip’s Home and School, ON:

held a scavenger hunt for teachers and staff every day. It was announced each morning which items were to be collected for the day e.g.: 1 red paper clip, 1992 penny and a 12-inch ruler. Teachers and staff were supplied with large freezer bags to collect items; bags were returned to the office at the end of the day. The staff member who collected all or most of the items by the end of the week won a restaurant gift certificate. During the week teachers and staff were treated to goodies in the lunchroom with a luncheon Wednesday. (Yard duty was provided by parents so that all the staff could enjoy lunch together).
