Let the Games Begin!!

Our Host Ms D!
Last week, Dobson School held its annual Olympic competition.  Each class divided into Red and Blue Teams competed in a wide variety of competitions, from the banana race, shoe relay, water balloon toss, and culminated in an 8th Grade tug of war! The staff even got in on the action, competing in two events of their own!  Hosted by our resident MC Ms. D and coordinated by Ms. Foulk, all participants had a wonderful day of friendly competition.

The competition was kicked off with the presentation of the countries flags.  Just as the International Olympic Competition is kicked off by a presentation of the countries, culminating in the host country USA!  After reading the Olympic creed,                                                                 "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well." 

the competition began!
