There was a flurry of activity on Friday. We started out the day with field day events of Tug O’ War, Kiddie Pool Marble Grab, Four Picture/Brain Teaser Game, and Food Eating Relay Races. Students and faculty participated. After that, students met in the gym for the much anticipated scavenger hunt and Name That Tune.
Before the parade, students worked to put the finishing touches on their class floats. At 1:45 everyone who was not in the parade lined up in front of the school to watch the parade. The theme for the parade was Disney.
Coming in first was the senior float, Monsters Inc., with the Freshman class coming in second with Steamboat Willy, third was the Sophomore float of Tinkerbell, and rounding out the floats was the Junior class with Tangled.
