Ms. Castillo's incredible 8th Grade Principles of Agriculture classes built the third-annual Mega Mum for Homecoming. This year's mum took 117 students 4 days of teamwork and creativity to bring this masterpiece to life. Standing tall at an impressive 21 feet, this giant mum is crafted entirely from cardboard and construction paper and the flower part alone was made with 1,600 individually placed coffee filters!
This year's mum highlights some of Orangefield's heritage, traditions, and school involvements. The pump jack and oil derrick represent our communities' beginnings as the Orange Oil Field, 'We Believe" on the loop chain pays homage to Chad Coulter and our belief in each other and ourselves, and the bubblegum chain on the left of the mum features many different sports, clubs, and activities that students are involved in. In addition to this being the largest mum Ms. Castillo's class has ever built, this year, the Mega Mum will also be displayed at the Homecoming football game this Friday!
A "MEGA" well-done to the students who brought this year's mum to life! Happy Homecoming, Bobcats!
