Fall House Games

The 1st Annual Fall House Games Competition was CRAZY fun!  All three houses had over 75% of their members in attendance.  Competition was fierce but filled with laughter and sportsmanship.  Each House was split up into two teams giving a total of 6 teams competing in 10 different classic Young Life/Youth Group games.  Each game had two heats and the 1st place winners received 1 point, 2nd place winners received 2pts, and 3rd place winners received 3pts.  The “Ultimate Winner of the House Games” was the House with the lowest number of points.

The points were extremely close between Audacia and Sapientia with only one point separating the two of them.  At the end of the night, Sapientia was announced the winner!  Congratulations Sapientia!  Well Done!FHG5

Recently the House Captains were given school sweaters with their house crest on them as a gift from the school for their leadership.

Laura Sneed received 5 Admin Leadership points for House Fides for coming up with the idea of putting the house crest on the various uniform wear through Land’s End.  She worked with Mrs. Kuhn and now both boys and girls have sweater options that can display their house crest.
