wowie wow wow! I'm geeking out! Check it out! My old fellow blogger is a high school VP in Randolph Indiana, and put a bug and a VW Thing in the school to motivate students to raise their grades! Whoa cool!

looking for a way to challenge students to improve in areas of academics, attendance, and behavior, long time hot rod blogger / vice pricipal Kirby suedeandchrome.blogspot.com put a chalkboard paint covered VW Beetle in the main entrance of the school for 2nd nine weeks of the 2015-16 school year  to take the "B.U.G. Challenge"

Students were encouraged to bring up at least 2 grades by at least 1 letter and those that did were rewarded with a pizza party and a movie (Herbie the Love Bug). They also received Volkswagen related prizes donated by area businesses and the Circle City Volkswagen Club.

Chalk-o-late BUG.

Students that took the challenge were asked to sign a chalkboard paint covered VW Beetle that sat in the main entrance of the school for the entire 9 weeks in hopes that it would be a daily reminder for students to work hard in their classes.

The Thing is there for a similar current challenge, it's the daily reminder to students to "Put their Thing in Gear and Bring Up the Grades!"

How darn cool is that!!!! Blogging about this to spread the word what a cool guy Kirby is, no surprise to the blogging world, and that he's brought cars to school in a cool way!

these weren't the first bugs in the high school... a tornado in 1974 shoved a couple in too!
