Students wearing their broccoli necklaces after reading “How to be a Perfect Person in Just 3 Days”. We had 4 students officially wear it for 24 hours. I heard some hysterical stories involving dogs eating their necklace or their parents having them wrap the broccoli in tin foil while they slept! HA!
This book had a great moral for students! Perfection is SO boring!
