The House System in the Upper School not only allows students from all grades to connect, but it also provides many fun competitions throughout the year. Most recently we had a rubber ducky regatta that took place in the creek. Each house created a boat for their rubber duck out of some cork, popsicle sticks, and hot glue. Many houses even made mini sails for their boats. At lunch, students from all houses came out to the bridge to cheer their duck to victory while waving their house flags. Although the boats were slow-moving down the mostly current-less creek, the race was entertaining as many of the ships got stuck on branches or capsized. Once most boats were at a halt, two students jumped in and ran down the creek with their boats across the finish line. The winning house of this race was somewhat unclear, however it was another creative event to add to this year’s house competitions.
