MOLE DAY!
Chemists Unite!! The Day of A-Mole-nent is Approaching!!
Foreword by Webmaster
It is 6:02 a.m. on October 23rd of any year at Hutch-Tech High School. On any other day, you might see a couple of teachers (dedicated, committed, or should be committed) pulling into the parking lot. Perhaps you might see a custodian unlocking the door. On any other day, you would more than likely not see a student around, let alone 300+ students standing outside of Tech. But then again, this is NO ORDINARY DAY!
October 23rd for any other person is just what it is called, October 23rd. But for a Hutch-Tech student, it is Mole Day!!! A day for frolicking with the mighty Mole! To be honest with you, I never heard of Mole Day when I was in high school in Williamsville. And for good reason, I was a high school student in 1977-1981. This did not start until 1991. But upon my arrival at Tech in 2001, I arrived on Oct. 23 for work and was astonished to see 300+ students standing outside in the cold wind. Still I did not really understand the Mole Day phenomenon.
Mr. Hurley and Mr. Pearson were outside with these students, raising a flag, blowing up things, reciting the Pledge to the Mole, and other activities. My first thought was that THEY WERE NUTS!! How right I was - and how much fun it was. There is a search for the hidden Mole within the building. Here we have seniors, our most mature students (so we think), searching the building. Looking for a stuffed mole. How many other high schools have their BMOCs looking for a stuffed animal!
So, below is our Mole Day page. Some of the information comes from the National Mole Day Foundation Website....enjoy! And HAPPY MOLE DAY!!
This year's Mole Day Theme:
|
(Background: When saying the pledge of allegiance to the U.S. flag, one faces the flag. If no flag is present, one should face our nation's capitol, Washington D.C. When saying the pledge to the mole, a real mole is usually not present. So, one should bend over and face the earth!)
