campus again this year

The Junior Class led a Ghostbusters-themed McDonald’s Week, the annual charity fundraiser for the Austin Street homeless shelter, on campus March 1-4 and raised more than $10,000. Although the event usually occurs at the Preston-Royal McDonald’s, the McDonald’s Week co-chairs and Junior Class sponsors adjusted the event for COVID-19 regulations.

TABLE TENNIS Sophomore Shreyan Daulat (above) faces off against senior Luke Annett and wins the final round of the McDonald’s Week ping-pong tournament Monday morning. Marksmen gathered in front of the Green Library to watch the event and collect donations for Austin Street.

EATING OUT Juniors Axel Icazbalceta (left) and Tomek Marczewski (right) order food at Torchy’s Tacos for a Monday dinner night. Marksmen also attended dinner nights at Flower Child, Beck’s Prime and Goff’s Burgers, which donated a portion of their proceeds toward McDonald’s Week.

RELAY

RACE The Wednesday morning competition between all four Upper School grades involved using a bat to spin five times, balancing an egg on a spoon, playing cornhole, hopping with both feet in a pillowcase, flipping a half-full water bottle and running back to tag the next teammate. The junior team emerged with the win.

RAISING MONEY

Co-chair Sal Abbasi sells t-shirts in the morning. The juniors offered white and blue short-sleeve t-shirts and white longsleeve shirts in various sizes for $15 and $20, respectively. They sold out of t-shirts, and the sales went toward Austin Street Center.
