Peer Leadership's Fun Day ~ Emily Granata

Rain couldn't keep these games from happening -- the peer leaders simply moved the events from the yards just outside of the school into the school's gym.

The LCCTC Shop Games, sponsored by Peer Leadership, was a very exciting event! Whether you were watching or participating, laughter filled the gymnasium. The students and even the staff had a blast, and the junior who put it all together was thrilled at the outcome.

“I'm so glad I could plan something like this for our school. Seeing everyone come together and have a lot of fun was truly a great experience. I'm looking forward to doing this next year!” ~ Tristyn Gravatt, creator of LCCTC Shop Games

Each activity a lot of fun, but they all had a purpose, as well -- to encourage team work.  Mr. Miller recognizes this and states, "I'm really proud of the Machine Tool Tech team; they really came together."  Whether it was a three-man race, pin the tail on Mr. Milnovich, or corn hole, in order to win, each team had to use communication skills, teamwork, and patience -- skills needed in every walk of life!

“It was really fun," laughed Daniel D, a member of the Welding team.  "I liked the 3 legged race a lot!”

Often finding himself laughing with the students, Mr. Goebel, Auto Tech instructor says that the games were “a fun, spirited competition!”  Each shop formed a team to compete against other shops.

“It was a great bonding experience!” recalls Stormy F, a member of the Electrical Occupations team. "It was just good, clean fun!"

With all the positive energy the games brought to the school this year there's no doubt the games will become a yearly end-of-the-year event!!  Congratulations, Peer Leaders!   Tristyn Gravatt stated, "Next year will be even better!  You can't control a little rain, but that didn't let us rain on our parade!"

Peer Leadership would like to extend its gratitude to the teachers, staff, and administration.  Thank you for your support this year, and all the years to come.
