Kickball Contest

On October 10th, the finals for the house kickball tournament concluded.  Congratulations to Hobler for winning! Hobler had their first-ever win and it was against Lambert. In the consolation game between Ettl and Albemarle, Ettl won, taking third place in the entire competition. The members of the Hobler team are very good at kicking the ball far and high, allowing Hobler to score a lot of runs. Hobler also had a strong defense; in the second inning, Lambert got three outs in a row, which contributed much to Hobler’s win. All the teams did their best and had a lot of fun. An interesting thing that happened was that the first game of Lambert vs Ettl was played in the rain. But due to a “small” blunder by the Master of Games, Mr. Jones, the first round between Hobler and Ettl was postponed. Unfortunately, Hobler is still in last place overall. 

The final standings of this tournament are as follows: Hobler, Lambert, Ettl, Albemarle.

Crest Contest 

“Lambert is a nanny poo poo head.” — Mr. Jones, 2022.

With gorgeous crests of red, yellow, and green on the big TV screen in the main hall, the results of the Crest Contest were announced. In third place, with a red phoenix of spreading light, was Hobler house. In second place was a green alicorn of excellent learning that ignited admiration from Ettl house. Finally, in first place was a yellow dragon from Albemarle. Lambert’s late submission was a great blue crest of the truth that lies within. After this tight contest, Albemarle still holds a significant lead. Even with Lambert's “nanny poo poo head” loss, Hobler still sits in last place… so sad. 

Standings from this contest: Albemarle, Ettl, Hobler, Lambert.

Spelling Bee

Three wordsmiths residing from each house competed in the spelling bee on October 17th as a tier three event. The rules were similar to a typical spelling bee; if you spell a word wrong or break a rule you are eliminated, and the last house standing wins. There were three rounds played before the final round.  Everyone tried their best and there were many (?) spectators cheering their houses on. Some of the hardest words included potpourri, different, soliloquy, and monogamous. This spelling bee resulted in a win for Lambert house from Joe Miller being the MVP and winning the final round. Although Hobler lost again, they are a persevering house and were extremely enthusiastic about being last.
