The Harry Potter Books and movies have long been popular with children and teens, so perhaps no surprise that two seventh grade classes in Richmond have decided to create their own miniature version of Quidditch Field as part of their art classes.
What might be surprising is that the students used empty milk cartons to build the sculpture, which includes goalposts, an audience, and Harry Potter himself.
Schools can use newsletter printing to let parents and other students know about interesting projects classes are working on. The students ended up using 1,200 milk cartons to build the sculpture, although the fact that the project is made of empty cartons is not immediately obvious.
The students participated in ‘Made by Milk’, a contest designed to help students learn about recycling and sustainability. Eligible projects need to use milk cartons as the primary material, and no more than 20% of the project's materials can come from other sources.
A group of judges will be evaluating each contribution and choosing the six best in each of two categories, elementary school and middle and high school. The winning schools will each receive $1,000. The school that wins the grand prize will get $5,000.
Along with the six schools chosen by judges, there will also be a People's Choice Award. The school that wins the people's choice award will get $2,500. People can visit www.madebymilkcontest.com to vote for their favorite school.
