Wicked for the Win (a Founders' Day Fairy Tale)

With benevolent weather on our side, the Founders' Day student leaders ran a joyous and highly efficient Founders' Day on May 1, with a villainous theme. Named for Captain Hook, Cruella, and Gaston (among others), the inter-grade teams competed in a range of relays at Howard Field in the morning, including bobbing for non-poisoned apples and scaling a giant inflatable castle. They then moved indoors for collaborative games and competitions before the grand finale: the Lip Sync Battle in the Atrium, wherein teams danced to famous villain songs mixed with contemporary hits.
Beyond ushering in the year's end with wit and whimsy, Founders' Day is an event that connects students from every grade, who collaborate and cheer one another on, overseen by a 10th-12th grade leadership team. Side note: faculty and staff did beat the seniors in tug-of-war. Yes, we now will bring this up at every opportunity.
