The one sophomores were focused on, though, came after a grueling face-off between social studies teacher Deborah Perry’s and math teacher Travis Martin’s advisories for the gold.
Senior mentors, guided by counselor Melissa Melahn, treated the sophomore class this year with a multi-semester competition with “olympic activities” gunning for the gold prize of a class pizza party. The competition, after many events, came to a close today as Perry’s class dominated Martin’s in a vasaline-cotton ball challenge, but wasn humble in the face of recognition.
“I know cooperation is more important than competition and probably leads to better self-actualization, but when you win, it just feels good,” Perry said. “So I don’t know what to do with that. But we are pretty excited and are going to have a week long celebration. It’s better than the Greek olympics, so I’m just saying we love it. We came; we saw; we conquered.”
