“Common Cents”
“JUDGES, are you ready??” Does that question make you flinch? Teachers who have had the opportunity of having their class participate in one of the two games shows know that they better be ready or they will suffer the consequences of having Darin Ewe track them down! Students are given the opportunity to be contestants who respond to natural resource based questions. Correct answers will win them ‘valuable’ “Conservation Bucks”, or they may need some “Common Cents!” This program has become one of the favorite programs for the older students.
