Lock-In
This tradition is one I’m most proud of. I love to have all my students together–which only happens twice a year. (Banquet is the other.) We start at 7 p.m. and set up all of our communications and introduce editors in some kind of game. Then we head to an indoor rope course. This facility (Group Dynamix) will take care of all the games and team building. We’ll take breaks thought the night for pizza and staff meetings to set goals, talk about the yearbook theme and set schedules for the year. After a cereal bar at 5 a.m., we’ll head home. Here’s our schedule and photos from the event.
