On Tuesday, Nov. 22, physics teacher Kirk Davis donned a turkey costume for the “Turkey up your Teacher” senior class fundraiser, which raised $137.62 in total.

The “Turkey up your Teacher” fundraiser involves students donating their loose change into teacher jars. Students were allowed to vote from Nov. 16 to 5th period on Nov. 21.

Davis, who garnered the most money in his jar, won and had to wear the turkey costume.

Senior class president Rachel Won said  there was a close tie between Davis, biology teacher Lisa Cochrum and Chinese teacher Sara Tseng, but Davis came out on top, followed by Tseng, and then Cochrum.

“I snapchatted a picture to my daughter telling her I won. She responded saying ‘some prize,’” said Davis. “I’m still happy to do it. The reason I won was because some kid found a ten dollar bill in the parking lot and put it in my jar!”

Junior Karthik Ramachandran was thoroughly surprised by Davis’s costume, as he walked into AP Physics.

“We had a test that day, and  I didn’t expect to see Mr. Davis in a turkey outfit,” Ramachandran said.  “Watching Mr. Davis waddle around the classroom in that outfit made bearing with the exam a lot easier.”
