2010 Dorm Olympics Spread School Spirit
March 5th, 2010. Posted in Student Life News
The first annual “LAS Dorm Olympics” extravaganza was an exciting prelude to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. On February 10th, school spirit reached new heights as student-dorms competed against each other in various athletic, educational and talent competitions. Students swapped school uniforms for themed outfits ranging from “Whacky and Tacky” to shaved heads and mohawks.
The fun began with the LAS Quiz Bowl where students went head-to-head in a trivia game during Wednesday Assembly. The event was hosted by Mr. Hugh Kelly, Spanish and Social Studies Teacher and Beau Reveil Dorm Head, and Mrs. Suzanne Meyskens, Beau Site Dorm Head, while Academic Affairs Assistant Jamie Black kept score. Boys and girls were judged separately in order to have two champions. The game went into overtime due to a tie between Savoy and Beau Reveil Boys. In a tiebreaker series of questions, Beau Reveil took first prize of 100 points. Belle Époque girls won, also gaining 100 points.
Following the Quiz Bowl, students departed for Lower Sporting in Leysin Village for athletic games and competitions. Dorms competed in basketball knock-out, ping-pong, curling, indoor soccer and chess. Faculty members supervised each activity.
The next event consisted of “Dorm Visits” from Associate Dean of Students, Mr. Tim Weir and Mr. Rich Tyler, Dean of Students. Dorms were checked for overall cleanliness and several rooms were selected at random for a closer inspection. The boys of Savoy and the girls of Beau Site were the winners.
The final event of the 2010 LAS Dorm Olympics was “Does Your Dorm Have Talent?” Students from each dorm performed in a talent show during Wednesday Assembly.
