Ancaster High's Grade 9 Weekend!

This past Friday September 17th, was Ancaster High's grade 9 weekend! All grade 9's on this day showed up at school ready to start class at 8:25 and ran through a regular school day, but as the bell rang at 2:45pm instead of heading home, most grade 9's (including me) made their way down to the gym to kick-off 2010's grade 9 weekend! We got our water bottles and our t-shirts and then we were placed into our groups. This years theme was Facebook, so every group was a different game. My group was "the crazy taxis!" We created signs, painted our leaders and our classroom, performed our cheers, and then we went onto the back field to play the outdoor games. Thebouncy castle and the bouncy obstacle course were my two favourite games. Then we had dinner and listened to a few live bands play. After dinner we went up to our rooms and we had a scavenger hunt in the east wing of the school. We had a 3 hour dance following that, and then we were sent to the gym's to hang out for 7 hours...and possibly sleep. My goal was to stay up all night...but as my eyes slowly closed I only stayed up until about 3:40am. Then I woke up around 7am, completely unaware of what was happening, and we packed up and had breakfast. I headed home and fell asleep! Not a surprise. The grade 9 weekend was a lot of fun, and I hope to be a leader in grade 12, for 2013's grade 9 weekend.
