Blue Hills Spirit Week: A Great Success!
The week culminated on last Friday with a Pep Rally outside on our turf field which generated school spirit, united our community and pumped up our student athletes before the homecoming game. The evening ended with the homecoming dance which was a huge success. Half of the Blue Hills' students attended. There was an Olympic Torch Run, Relay Races, Kiss the Fish, Tug of War for the Soccer Teams, Balloons for the Relay Race, Football Team Wheelbarrow Race and many more activities.
Also, during lunches there were activities every day, such as bouncy houses on Tuesday, Candy Diaper Guess on Wednesday, Donut eating race on Thursday and Class Color Day on Friday with Face Painting. Congratulations to our students, faculty and staff for a successful spirit week!
