Relay Rejuvenation Night at Pomfret
2/4/2010
Saturday January 30th saw Pomfret students and faculty alike gathered in the Corzine Athletic Center and Olmsted Student Union for a night of festivities kicking off fundraising for Relay for Life. Relay for Life is a charity event that takes place in May to raise funds for cancer research.
The festivities included a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, a movie and game room, a student DJed dance, live student music performances, Penny Wars, smoothies, hot-dogs, four-square, and of course the midnight faculty vs. students basketball game (won this year by the faculty and highlighted by an MVP performance by Headmaster Brad Hastings). Energy was high and spirits soared at this all-school event held from 8pm – 2am. It was a wonderful display of Pomfret’s school spirit.
Relay Rejuvenation night came together thanks to an impressive amount of student leadership. The Relay Captains were Brittany Zulkiewicz, Beckam Cela, Kirsten Therrien, Jamie Samociuk, Hannah Leo, and Laura Alves. Faculty member Anne Wolchesky was also a key part of the night’s success. Thanks also to Faculty member Chris Atwood for photographing the event.
