Spring at a Glance
What could feel better on a hot spring day than a cooling Slip ‘n Slide? Students relaxed and geared up for final exams with a second annual Carnival Day, sponsored by the student government. Clubs and classes put together the activities, which ranged from a “Knock the Tyrant’s Top Off” booth where you throw balls at dictators, to a duck pond where you fish for prizes, to an old-fashioned cotton candy making machine. The good vibes rolled on all afternoon.

The lawn was alive with young competitors from schools all over the Peninsula when the Priory Freshman class sponsored a Special Olympics morning for children with physical and mental challenges. The sign on the winners’ platform says “Let me WIN; But if I can’t win, let me be brave in the ATTEMPT.” The morning featured scores of relays, medals and smiles.

The sixth grade, eighth grade and high school all fielded teams for the American Cancer Society’s annual fund-raiser. Students from other grade levels and many parents also took part in the upbeat May 17 weekend.
