Creativity at work!

Be My Valentine?
When Michelle Johnson and Holly Gerk noticed that cabin fever had struck the dorm, they decided to host
a Valentine festival. Although dressing-up for the event was optional, most of the students decided that
Valentine’s Day was the perfect opportunity to show their style. The festival included a variety of games such
as Musical Chairs, Find the Heart (a heart matching game) and Wii Just Dance. After the games, students
were given the opportunity to put their creativity on display by frosting Valentine’s Day cookies. The festival
provided a fun evening for staff and students alike.

Girls Night
For six weeks, students on the second floor in the dorm
worked hard in order to earn a Girls’ Night. Their goal was
to earn ten hearts per person. If students earned enough
hearts, they were able to have pizza for dinner instead
of food provided by the kitchen staff. Everyone had the
opportunity to play the games that the floor staff provided.
One of the games was Just Dance, a Wii game that
provided the opportunity to dance the night away. The girls
enjoyed their special night of eating pizza and drinking
pop while either chatting with each other or dancing.

Gone Swimming
When it was time to select a location for the second quarter
elementary dorm trip, CCC Bobby Beyer chose the Whitewater
Aquatic Center in Whitewater because he wanted something that
would be fun and accessible for all students. The Whitewater Aquatic
Center has a range of water activities for water lovers including a
zero depth pool with geysers, fountains, gizmos and gadgets as well
as a slide, basketball hoops, and a lazy river connected with deeper
water for the more experienced swimmers. After the students were
done in the water, they were allowed to obtain drinks or snacks from
the snack bar outside the pool area. Fun was had by all and many
arrived back to campus exhausted.
