First of all, the annual "Turkey Toss" in Wellness. What fun! In pairs, students throw rubber "turkeys" at increasing distances until the turkey is dropped. Each group had a champion pair. After school on Tuesday, the championship Turkey Toss was held. First, all 6th grade winners competed for champion 6th grade spot, followed by 7th and 8th. Then all three sets of champions competed to determine the final winner. It was great fun to watch! Congratulations to:
6th grade champions: Ben Mason and Jeremy Rosh
7th grade champions: Devin Forbes and Nick McFarland
8th grade and overall champions: Chris Connery and Justin Stanuil
The second special experience was the Thanksgiving assembly, created by the students of Team Explorer. They came up with the theme, the script, and the music on their own! The band and chorus supported them, and their teachers helped them to organize and practice (thank you to Jim Heneberry for his directing and also to Michael Bernard and Andrea Bruno for additional organization!). Their theme focused on the fact that one person can start a movement, and from that one person, great change can happen when the message spreads and when more people get involved! This was seen visually on the board that included the photos of all of those who donated food for the food drive (starting with one, ending with hundreds), to the creative acting in the assembly, to the visuals about how the couryard was renovated, to the final rap, which got not only the entire team dancing, but also the entire school! It was powerful and fun, and will be a memory made for all of those involved. Thank you, Team Explorer!
