Students walk in Noah's footsteps as they build ark The first thing you notice these i days when you walk into the Pleasant Grove Senior Seminary is this big frame of an ark which sits in - the lobby. The "ark" project is to encourage students to read their scriptures and each time they read 10 chapters, 3, they receive a popsicle stick. The a students write their names on the ; j sticks and then the sticks are put on the ark. The present frame of the ark will hold 8,000 sticks. It is estimated that 17,000 sticks will finally be ready for the ark. Matt Richardson, seminary teacher and advisor for the Seminary Council, said that the ark will have a cabin on top and the entire ark can be built longer if it is necessary. The students want to float the ark at the end of the year when it is completed. The frame for the ark was built by Pleasant Grove High School shop teacher, Irell Despain, and some of his students, including Gary Nez, who put a great deal of time into the project. On the first popsicle stick collection day, there were about 300 sticks turned in, Mr. Richardson said. |
