The Thornburg Middle School PTO in Spotsylvania, Va., holds an annual Turkey Feather Contest. The contest allows students to purchase paper turkey feathers for their favorite teacher or administrator. The feathers are in turn attached to paper turkeys representing the teachers. The teacher or administrator who ends up with the most feathers has to wear a ridiculous turkey suit during the school’s lunch shift and at dismissal and bus-boarding time. The sale raises about $500 each year.
