“Shark attack, shark attack!” chanted Ms. Emily Grad repeatedly as crowds of high schoolers gathered in the amphitheater for the first StuCo event. The “Welcome Back Shark Attack” evening included fun and physical activities such as dodgeball, American football, and kickball with major rule changes based on the theme “sharks.” In addition to that, each activity involved getting wet. “My favorite activity had to be kickball because winning didn’t matter at that point, given the fact we were all laughing and
slipping at every attempt to sprint onto a base,” says Chloe Castro (11). The sounds of laughter and screams echoed across campus as students enjoyed three hours of total, non-stop fun. To finish out the night, StuCo showed the movie Soul Surfer along with baked and freshly-cooked good in the amphitheater. “I could see that StuCo had prepared a lot for the event, from planning various games to decorating the amphitheater based on sharks,” said Gloria Kim (12). “It was definitely a fun way to start the semester.”
StuCo events, such as this, gave students a chance to escape the stresses of homework and have fun not only with classmates but with the entire high school community. In addition to that, these events helped new students connect with other high schoolers and build new relationships with one another. —By Brian Hiew AS the opposing team runs after the ball, Jesse Ross (11) takes advantage of the and sprints towards third base as Trevor Ronning (9) waits for the ball.
