LA students Ariel Cowan and Ezra Paetow work in the ATEC woodshop to build a cornhole board for the cornhole tournament to benefit Maine Veterans that will take place at Lincoln Academy on November 4.
Students from Lincoln Academy EdLab Program and Unified Club are collaborating to host a cornhole tournament on Saturday, November 4th, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. to benefit Maine veterans. The tournament will be held at Lincoln Academy on the William A. Clark Turf Field. There is a registration fee of $10.00 per person and all donations will be accepted. Proceeds from the tournament will be donated to Boothbay V.E.T.S., an organization that provides emergency temporary shelters for homeless Maine veterans. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams.
In preparation for the event, students from EdLab and Unified Club participated in creating and delivering flyers advertising the event. Students from the Project Based Learning class in the EdLab Program are handcrafting and painting 16 cornhole boards and sewing 64 canvas cornhole bags then filled with synthetic all-weather corn. Four bags from each set are made from recycled canvas military duffle bags. The group is looking for sponsors to cover the cost of materials for their board sets. To register for the tournament or sponsor a board set in honor of a Veteran, please use this registration form or contact mattaj@lincolnacademy.org or (207) 563-3596 ext. 1314. These sets will be auctioned off after the tournament in order to raise additional money for the cause.
