Amazing Teen Race

CCHS - Team 6 Quinn Douglas, Cass Klapp, Colin Pitt, Sophie Geroldinger

Fuelled by Food - Team 5 Logan Davidson, Kailan Pagnucco, Silas Mertz, Adam Farraj This team would like to see some beautification done to Gazebo Park. They would Repane the gazebo and add flower boxes and hanging planters and add light posts around it. Instead of hiring a business to do the renovations the team would do this through volunteers and use the students in the school. School council could lead the initiative and they would use the wood working and welding class to make the light post stands and flower boxes to save money.

Inferno - Team 7 Sebastian Brecht, Reed Plosz, Nik Wallbaum, Archer Ames This team would use the money to start up a program for youth nights. They would recommend movie nights and sports nights. To keep the program going they could fundraise through businesses and sell snacks and drinks. This would keep the youth from roaming around doing nothing by keeping them busy and getting excited and meeting more people and students. This would also help create inclusivity.

The Salty Pretzels - Team 9 Aliyah MacGarva, Jana Van der Bank, Kuria Bailey, Anja Van der Bank This team would donate the money to the local SPCA so they can house more animals in a diverse environment.

This team came up with the idea for a community garden at CCHS. The team would use the seed money of $1000 to approach the town to match the funds so they can start with $2000.00. They would also fundraise in the community to get the program up and running through student council. Their plan is to create a community garden at the Crowsnest Consolidated High School. They would have an agricultural option class to help come up with interesting and sustainable things to plant. They would plant, weed and grow the garden. The food could then be used in our foods class and for the school lunch and breakfast program for students, especially those in need. The team would also ask the senior group in our community to helps us grow our garden and work hand in hand with us

The All Stars - Team 8 Marin Anderson, Kaleigh Fox, Peyton Hammer, Emma Harrington This team would use the money to help renovate the Orpheum Theatre in Blairmore.

The Lollipops - Team 12 Ayla Smith, Neleta Crombie, Bryer Cytko, Sam Uhersky

This team would plan to put money towards a public community skate park. They say it would bring both adults and youth together in a safe place and it will create jobs for kids that want part time work by cleaning the park. They also say it gets people active and there is more opportunities for local business to sponsor and endorse and just get involved. It will also be a lot of fun.

This team would use the money for a permanent outdoor drive in movie theatre. The theatre would have a snack shop and a bathroom. They think the perfect spot is at the Hillcrest Ball Diamond Complex. They would fundraise with 50/50 draws and ask for community donations. Their plan is to have movies on Saturday nights.

The Barnacles - Team 13 Ryleigh Oberholtzer, Jorja Oberholtzer, Ella McNeil, Halie MacDonald

Pass Ratz - Team 14

This team would use the money to create a youth hangout spot. The name would be ‘The Hangout’. This would be a safe place for teens to gather together indoors for the winter. It would be a club, but just for teens to hang out and relate to each other. Wifi would be provided along with seating, drinks and snacks. The drinks and snacks could provide employment for those teens in need. It would be a place for kids that need a comfortable and safe environment to be able to visit and do homework or hang out with friends. There would be help for homework and other things.

Keaton Tippel, Seth Sharp, Avery Whelan, River Clark

The Nerf Ninjas - Team 15 Cohen Folkard, Levi Goin, Carson Hay, Nelson Groves This team would use the $1000 to host a fundraiser to restore the Roxy Theatre in Coleman.

This team would put the money into fixing Albert Stella Memorial Arena so that kids could have the indoor skate park, rock climbing, indoor soccer, gymnastics and lacrosse back. Presently the youth have lost rock climbing, the skate board park and Lacrosse.

This will bring back many happy memories teens had before they got shut down.

Teenage Ninja Turtles - Team 16 Leah Neumeier, Ella Woodman, Sydney Reynolds, Topher Olesen This team would use the money towards making the Roxy Theatre in Coleman a movie theatre again.

The Bookworms - Team 18 Hunter Eden, Karin Bailey, Levi Neudorf, Eve Winter

This team would use the money to piggyback fundraising to build a new skate park.

The team would like to build it by the bike park because it would be centralized and would compliment the activities already there and encourage tourism.

This team would use the $1,000 to gather community groups together to re-build the Alberta Stella Memorial Area. As a community we are all disappointed with the sudden stop of the facility.

The Bean Team - Team 21 Mackenzie Heyboer, Keira Leggette, Ciera Wemp, Saiya Miklos
