FARMINGTON — Teacher Maureen Oswald came up with a creative way to make some money for Mt. Blue Middle School’s Student Assistance Team recently by holding a cake walk.

She solicited cakes from parents, teacher and students and within days had 170 donations. Students then bought chances for 25 cents a piece and received extra if they had brought in a cake.

For 53 minutes, Assistant Principal Joel Smith called down the lucky ticket holders from the bleachers. The students then had to participate in a musical-chairs-style elimination game, and the lucky winners got to select any cake they wanted.

The event raised $200 for the Student Assistance Team, which endeavors to see to the emotional and financial needs of some of its students.

What a fun and memorable way to do some good,” SAT member and school guidance counselor Jan Welch said. “We are so fortunate to live in a caring and generous community. Parents really rose to the occasion on this one, which was not surprising. Our parents are the best!”
