The Alliances!!! (10/4)

An interesting idea, difficult to actualize. Alliances are multi-grade teams. They competed today in a contest that eventually leads to a winning team. (When, I don't know.) The primary problem was organization. (No surprise here. It was a bit chaotic.) It was mostly those who were interested participated, everyone else did whatever they wanted. The activities, though I think they came from a staff member, were directed by high school students. Flamboyant (!!!) teenagers pleaded over microphones for demonstrations of team spirit and best efforts. It was probably a good experience in sympathy for teachers. Little kids and faithful peers were the typical participants. Games like Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, relay races, scavenger hunts, and dancing contests earned points for Alliances. I was on the Green Alliance. Few teachers participated (in fact, few were present) so I didn't go crazy, but I cheered and lent a hand as appropriate. It was mostly a good time. We continue tomorrow with Field Day. Go Green!!!
