Last week, along with other homecoming festivities, the Key Club hosted their first annual Game Night on Tuesday. Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. It’s a student-led organization that teaches leadership through serving others. Key Club members build themselves up as they build up their schools and communities. Therefore, as apart of giving back to the community, Key Club held a very successful night of fun. The 2009-2010 Key Club sponsor is first year 9th grade English teacher Katie Kopcho.
On Tuesday night the gym became the site of this event. Despite the rain, a great crowd came out to check out this initial experience and have some entertainment. Booths were set up with a variety of games and activities. Students and families from all areas of Oak Grove came together to enjoy an evening of food and fun.
One of the most popular events was the “Pie in the Face” booth where students were able to launch pies at various teachers as well as Mrs. Kribbs. The dunking booth also appeared to stay pretty busy as teachers and students alike took the plunge. Other booths included a cake walk sponsored by Beta and a Date Raffle. Dates included Steve McNair, Zach Kulzer, LeBrandon Mosley, Clintion Richards, Logan Little, Rachel Weldy, Lindsay Pace, KaShondra Smith, Kayla Purvis, and Patrice Moore. Winners of the raffle will be treated to a group date to CiCi’s Pizza. There was face painting for younger attendees sponsored by Red Cross. Also, the basketball games were exceptionally popular for all ages. Different types of relays were held during the night. The concessions area stayed busy as people enjoyed the night and snacks.
