As in previous years, the 7th Annual Fall House Games Competition was fierce but filled with silly games, laughter, and great sportsmanship. Honestly we were all just grateful that the Fall Games had returned, since Covid had knocked out the Games in the fall of 2020.

For each game, the House leaders had to strategically determine which members should participate based on the skills needed or the willingness of the members to do some of the crazier activities. Each game had the 1st place winner receiving 1 point, 2nd place winner receiving 2pts, 3rd place winner receiving 3pts, and 4th place winner receiving 4pts. In the case of a tie, both houses receive the same points. The “Ultimate Winner of the Fall House Games” was the House with the lowest number of points.

Throughout the afternoon the points were close between the four Houses, but at the end of the day, House Fides was announced the winner, with House Constantia close behind in second place.

1st place – Fides with 13 points

2nd place – Constantia with 14 points

3rd place – Sapientia with 21 points

4th place – Audacia with 23 points

We started the day with worship.

Then Mrs. Russell recognized our seniors.

We played a few group games.

Then we introduced our new House leaders and they read their house fable.

We inducted our 7th grade students, as well as any new and returning students, into one of the 4 Houses .

Then we played a game called “Eat One, Throw One, Balance One” with the House Captains and Prefects.

The House Captains competed while the prefects were there to advise and aide them. They were given a cube of Jell-O, a pretzel stick, and a granola bar.

The object of the game was to figure out which item they were going to eat, which would be best to throw a distance, and which one would balance the best on the pole – all in the fastest amount of time.

It was such a fun day!!
