St. Patrick's Day Social
By Dr. Ian Call
On March 14th, the students of SPCHS got into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit by wearing lots of green and taking the opportunity to socialize and snack on some green goodies.
Every year, the National Honor Society hosts the St. Patrick’s Day Social to create an opportunity for students to do what teenagers do best, eat and talk. Students from all three grade levels gathered in the lobby of the Student Services building on Friday afternoon to chat and eat some (mostly) green food including pizza, cupcakes, cookies, and candy. There was even punch! At the beginning of the social, students were given a goody bag filled with, you guessed it, goodies.
In addition, the National Honor Society felt that SPCHS students were not eating enough Chick-fil-A, so ten lucky students won 5-dollar gift cards to the Chick-fil-A restaurant of their choice. Soon after the social was over, all ten Chick-fil-A gift cards had been redeemed. Unfortunately, no actual leprechauns were able to attend the social, but there is always next year!
Special thanks to the National Honor Society officers and Ms. Segall for their hard work and dedication in making this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Social an amazing success!
Game and Movie Night by Dr. Ian Call
At SPCHS, we have a special tradition of hosting a Game and Movie Night for our students here at the Collegiate High School. The tradition was started by students in our Student Government Association and everyone enjoyed the event so much that we have continued the tradition ever since. This year we even had two Game and Movie Nights! Part of the tradition of Game and Movie Night is that a movie is playing in the “Fishbowl” and few students actually watch it, so this year the students decided that the movie portion of Game and Movie Night would be replaced by Karaoke.
In addition to Karaoke, students played video games in the classrooms and were provided lessons on how to be crushed at four square by Dr. Call. Thanks to PTSA’s sponsorship of the event and donations from parents, students were able to munch on Domino’s Pizza and other goodies including chips and cookies.
Special thanks to everyone who made the event possible; Mr. Hesting for organizing the event, everyone who donated snacks and goodies for the event, and to our wonderful volunteers for chaperoning the event, especially those volunteers that chaperoned the Karaoke room.
