Carrier Mills-Stonefort High celebrates third PBIS event
The Carrier Mills-Stonefort High School just held their third PBIS Event of the year.
Homeroom Challenge No. 3: The Relay Race Competition took place on Nov. 15. Those students that attended school, learned something new, asked questions, told the truth, and treated others with respect were allowed to participate in the relay race competition. Each class was assigned a coach, a team name, and team colors to wear during the competition. Each team then participated in 22 different events. The team that finished first in the event was awarded 4 points, second place earned their team 3 points, third place was 2 points, fourth place was 1 point, and a disqualification was 0 points. At the end of the eleven events the points were added together and the class with the most points was named the relay race champion.
The first event, the scavenger hunt, had a group of five team members racing after clues all over the high school. Once all the clues were recovered, the teams had to use them to open a briefcase with a three-digit code found in the clues. The sophomore class easily won this event with a time of 5 minutes and 9 seconds. Members of DeNeal's Destroyers Scavenger Hunters were Abigail Horn, Emma Odum, Madison Murphy, Lily Monroe, and Mackensie Avery.
A few of the other relay races were: 1) The run-down-and-run-back relay, where eight team members raced down the floor and back again. This event was won by the senior class (thanks to the effort of Aaron Metzger). 2) The spoon-and-golf-ball relay, which was also won by Lane's Lunatics (seniors). The eight students had to hold a spoon between their teeth and balance a golf ball on the spoon without using their hands all the way down the floor and back again. 3) The hoop shoot event, which was won by the sophomore class (DeNeal's Destroyers), asked eight students to dribble a basketball down the floor, make a shot, and dribble back to the next teammate in line. 4) The jigsaw puzzle relay had the ten students run to the middle of the floor, pick up a puzzle piece, and drop them on a puzzle board at the end of the gym. The last player had to correctly put the puzzle together. This event was won by the junior class, Eisenhauer's Giant Killers.
Heading into the last three events, the senior class held a comfortable lead, but the junior class, hoping for an upset, won the next two events to bring the event to a tie. At the beginning of the 11th and final event, it was Lane's Lunatics and Eisenhauer's Giant Killers tied at 26 apiece. The final event, the Run Waiter Run race, asked the eight teammates to balance a Ping-Pong ball on a tray all the way down the floor and back by only using one hand. Winning the event, their third straight first place finish, was the junior class.
The Freshmen Class, coached by Mr. Ryan (Ryan's Renegades), wearing green and white, finished in fourth place with 20 total points. The sophomores, coached by Mr. DeNeal (DeNeal's Destroyers), wearing orange and black, earned a third-place finish with 24 points. Lane's Lunatics (senior class), coached by Mrs. Lane, wearing purple and gold, finished in second place with 28 points. Winning their first homeroom challenge as a class, the junior class, coached by Mr. Eisenhauer (Eisenhauer's Giant Killers), wearing blue and red, finished the event in first place with 30 total points. Mr. Eisenhauer was presented with the "Victory is Ours" trophy and junior class members were given their championship belts.
After three homeroom challenges, it is a three-way tie for first place between the seniors, juniors, and sophomores with one win each (seniors won the Dodgeball Tournament, sophomores won the Volleyball Tournament, and the juniors won the Relay Race Competition).
