The 10th annual Spanish IV piñata contest in Mr. Duane Machesney’s class is complete.The piñatas are displayed in the East Media Center where teachers vote on their favorite designs. To see all the creations go to the District photo gallery.
First place was a traffic light made by Mike Bates, Aaron Marietta, Dylan Rowley and Clayton Tomczyk. Second place was a cactus done by Ian Komisak, Mike Puskar, Rebecca Tencza and Chris Whiting. The Space Shuttle and Yoshi piñatas tied for third place. The Space Shuttle was done by Juniors Josh Hockstad, Zach Nolan, Mike Sawchuk and Steve Tadazak. Yoshi was done by the trio of Danica Crouch, Taylor McGuffie and Shelby Saelens.
The event is one that Spanish IV students look forward to every year and can be interesting and creative in a class with no running water to work with paper maché or a lot of space to store wet piñatas to dry. Students have three weeks to complete the piñatas in and out of class.
The piñata contest is one of the reasons students look forward to taking Spanish IV at East.
“This year’s students did a great job with their piñatas,” said Mr. Machesney.
