For the first House Meetings of the 3rd Quarter, the Houses reflected on their 1st semester performance as well as brainstormed on some “Winter Slump” activities.
Reviewing the Covenant Cup standings to date, the Houses realized that they are all tied, and so it is still anyone’s game to reach the prize.

For the last 20 minutes of the meeting, the Houses participated in the Marshmallow Challenge. http://marshmallowchallenge.com/Welcome.html
Each House was given 20 pieces of uncooked spaghetti,1 yard of string, 1 yard of tape, and 1 marshmallow. The challenge was to build the tallest free standing structure measured from table top to the top of the marshmallow using only the materials provided. The Houses split into guy and girl teams, so that the boys in each House competed against each other and the girls in each House competed against each other.
Unable to see what the other Houses were creating, the teams each brainstormed to create unique and creative structures.
