As Spirit Month continues, The Winston School hosted its Academic Olympics, a fun and engaging series of competitions where students tested their skills in a variety of challenges, including Jeopardy, a scavenger hunt, photo identification, paper airplane throwing, Kahoot quizzes, Movie ID, Pictionary, and math games. A favorite activity was identifying baby pictures of staff members, sparking smiles and friendly competition. The event continued with a lively round of Name That Tune, where both students and staff enjoyed dancing and moving to the music as DJ Ocaña and Assistant Principal Weeden played the tunes. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to connect with peers they might not typically interact with, fostering a sense of community and school spirit.
