Montgomery Junior High students and staff built more than houses this holiday season for their first annual Gingerbread House Contest that was held in the Montgomery Junior High library December 5-9, 2011. Friendships were made and money was raised during this library fundraiser event. Students, staff, and parents donated over $630 to put towards new books and Flip video cameras.
The first place team helped raise over $251 alone with their fabulous Floyd Casey Stadium (Baylor Bear Stadium). The “Clicking Chicks” took second place and third place went to “The Pink Elfz”. More than 20 teams participated, and the library was literally a sweet place to be during the week. Montgomery Junior High is looking forward to continuing the tradition next year. The top gingerbread houses were auctioned at the Cookie Walk which helped raise money for the historical society.
