Starting as a silly “no sneezing” rule to introduce students to his personality, science teacher Craig Wideman integrated a sneeze bucket as a way add humor to his classes. The sneeze bucket challenges students to avoid sneezing in class, while creating a friendly competition among peers. If a student sneezes in class, Wideman brings the bucket over to them. If the bucket is still in possession of that student by the end of class, then they have to write their name on the bucket.
Chemistry teacher’s sneeze ban becomes classroom game, inside joke
March 8, 2024
In science teacher Craig Wideman’s 1st Hour Organic Chemistry class, seniors Maya Walden, Vyom Tripathi, and Josh Lanzotti complete a lab near the Sneeze Bucket. While the goal of the bucket is to reduce sneezing, students have their own competitions to try and get away with sneezing in class.

Julia Dean, Digital Media Asst. Editor In Chief
I enjoy editing and creating stories through Digital Media, I get to connect with the community and other students about their passions. I love building connections and digging deeper into topics as well. Because I plan on going into sports broadcasting, I feel that this is a great way to experiment with types of coverage.
