As is tradition, all community members gathered on the first day of class for an assembly. Following announcements and introductions (some spoken and some sung) to new faculty and staff, the Student Government Association kicked off the first grade competition of the year: perennial favorite Schoolwide Musical Chairs.
What are grade competitions? Students can participate in impromptu, amusing contests during the year, with the winners earning points for their grade. The grade with the most points earns a prize plus eternal bragging rights.
