Berea, KY—Foley Middle School continued developing their “college going culture” by sponsoring a Collegiate Door Decorating Contest.

The theme for the contest (developed by GEAR UP Counselor Cindy Saylor) was “Developing a College Going Culture at Foley.”

Teachers, in collaboration with students, were encouraged to decorate their classroom doors to represent different aspects of college life or to decorate with the colors/mascots/mottos/etc. of various colleges around the United States.

The goal of the project was to have student’s start thinking about various post-secondary education options available in and out of state.

Possible topics included athletics, social activities, clubs and organizations, sororities/fraternities, etc. The first place prize winner selected on February 13th was Ginnifer Saylor-Watts. Watts decorated her door with an Eastern Kentucky University motif. Watts first place prize was a dinner for two at Rossi’s in Lexington, KY.

Congratulations Ms. Saylor-Watts!
