Students from each class after lunch on Friday went to the gym to start the annual Icebreaker where everyone get an opportunity to have some fun playing games. The Student council officers broke with tradition starting everyone in the gym for a little class on class competition.  Their were many plastic cups on the floor and each class was assigned a specific color.  The goal of the game was to collect all your cups and keep them right side up.  At the end of three minutes a tally was taken to identify a winner.

The next game student were divided into the same small groups that were used during orientation.  They lined up next to each other.  Each team had a bucket of water and had to transfer as much water as possible to the empty bucket at the end of the line.  Team members transferred the water in cups that were placed on their heads.

The final game was a class slip n slide kickball game.  When a student was up they would kick a beach ball and then run and slide to a base.  The Freshmen played the Seniors on one field and the Juniors played the Sophomores.  After a bit the teams swapped with the Seniors playing the Juniors and the Sophomores playing the Freshmen.  After the slip n slide kickball game frozen treats were given out.

The annual Student Association Valentines banquet was held at Camp Widjiwagan in Antioch on Thursday, February 11th.  The school closed for the day because there was still ice or snow on the roads in the morning making travel difficult, however, the sun and temperatures combined to dry the roads and allowed the SA event to take place later that evening.

The meal was held in the Lodge that had a fireplace that added to the ambiance.  To drink there were bottles of Welch’s red and white grape juice as well as apple cider.  Salad and a roll, pasta with marinara or alfredo sauce, and vegetables delighted the guests.  For desert, there were lots of chocolate options: candy, bite-sized cakes, and strawberries covered milk chocolate.  There were also items to make smores out on the patio by the fire.

Six faculty members participated in a mystery production of a stolen cat statue that students and staff tried to solve.  Each member of the cast had a role to play and did so with enthusiasm.  Students asked each cast member questions as they sought to unravel the mystery.  In the end, Chaplain Jamieson, as the manager of the singer was found to have the missing item.  A $25 gift card was given to the student who correctly solved the mystery and had their name randomly chosen.  The winner was Nathan Johnson.  After the mystery was solved there was time to relax and take pictures or eat smores.
