"It has been a challenge this year to figure out how to do the type of school spirit events that the Student Senate traditionally does when most of our traditional ways, such as assemblies, are not feasible," said Student Senate leader Joe Wood. "I am proud of the Senators for thinking outside the box with their idea for Winterfest this year."
"On Tuesday, Judson Fargo, Sam VanWinkle, Andrew Jepson, and Luke Rathburn joked about how we should do a dunk tank. I literally laughed out loud at the idea of renting a dunk tank and getting someone to sit in it at 20 degrees," said Wood, "But then they said they had told the idea to Mrs. Hinga and she liked it. So together we started to brainstorm and came up with a makeshift way to incorporate snowballs and Mrs. Hinga. Then one of the guys had the idea to tie in Freezing for a Reason. After about 10 minutes, they had turned a semi-joke into a really fun event."
