The Class of 2010 proposed a $1,900 budget, which will go towards prizes for a student wide egg hunt.

The senior class submitted the plan, that will go before the Student Government Association.  If the budget is approved prizes could include gift certificates, iPods, a flatscreen tv, a pair of Red Sox tickets, as well as lots of candy.

The plan is to have approximately 750 brightly colored eggs placed around campus.  Students will turn in the eggs to Pierce Hall for a raffle ticket and a bag of candy.  At the end of the night, the prizes will be raffled off, and given to students.

The event date has remained unannounced, so students do not look for eggs before the events kicks off.

Ben Goudreau, senator for the class of 2010, planned the event as a way for the senior class to give back to campus one last time before graduation.

“When Chris Johnson came before the SGA to Superfund for his Raven Egg Hunt for the children of Rindge, I noticed just how much the body wanted to see a similar event for the students.  That night when I went back to my lakeview and I began working on a way to make that possible,” said Goudreau.

Many students are excited that there will be an egg hunt on campus this year.  Danielle Russell, class of 2012 President, supports the event because it is something fun and safe for all students to participate in on campus.

“I am eager to see this event take place on campus, especially since the prizes are things college kids would like to win,” said Russell.

The senior class was happy to plan one last event for the campus.  They believe there will be a large turnout of students thrilled to act like children again.

The President of the senior class Will Clark said, “The class of 2010 is looking forward to what should be a pleasant event for everyone on campus.  We think it will be a gratifying way to give back to the Franklin Pierce community before we leave.”
