I wanted to take a moment to recognize the success of Competition Day this year, which took place the day before April Vacation.  Not only did the Senior class have a thrilling come-from-behind victory (hooray!) but this was the best Competition Day in the time I have been a Westborough High student because the spirit of the day carried throughout the week, not just on Friday.  

 The class officers of the 4 graduating classes came together to organize lunch competitions Tuesday through Friday.  At each of the three lunches volunteers from the four classes competed in games like a pie eating contest and peanut butter and jelly sandwich stacking.  This game consisted of contestants making and stacking peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches before eating them in a race to see who could eat their stacked sandwhiches first.    There was a different game for every day of the week starting on Tuesday.  Sophomore Class President Joy Cho was the mastermind behind the idea, but the four classes each sponsored one of the lunch game competitions.  It was nice to see the four class leadership teams working together to create a spirit of community.  I could feel the atmosphere in the lunchroom chang to one of fun and excitement on the days the competitions took place.

Congratulations to Joy and the other class leadership teams for running this successful event and adding a new twist to this long-running WHS tradition.  Plus, the Senior Class (who won the competition lunch games and gained a point in the standings) thanks all of you for giving us the opportunity to earn one of the deciding points!
