StuCo host School Wide Bingo
by THS Media Gregory Miranda
Jan. 6 was the day that Independence School District students returned back to school, and what better way to ease students back in the groove of second semester then a School Wide Bingo game.
With the influence coming from administrators and the support from Student Council (Stuco), teachers were given a stack of blank Bingo playing cards to hand out to students during fifth block period. Students could play with as many cards as they liked to increase their chances of winning a free beverage from Sonic and THS’s own Patriot Cup.
Three representatives from StuCo, seniors Isabelle Rizi and Becky Tebe and junior Brianna Francis worked behind the intercom announcing letters and numbers to jump start the games.
After countless combinations, four in a row, diagonal, horizontal, most people know the rules, students who claimed they had a Bingo and made the trip to the main office to claim their prize.
“It was definitely needed,” senior Reid Titus said. “I thought it was fun, I had a bad case of senioritis so it was a fun way to start off.”
For freshman who were new to the school and did not see this coming, it was definitely a good impression of the school their first year.
“I won,” freshman Andrew Ladner said. “I enjoyed it because it was interactive.”
“It was different to say the least,” General Metals teacher Mr. Knotts said. “I felt everyone needed it because it had to come sooner or later.”
Bingo doesn’t fix everything but it’s definitely sets a good tone for the rest of the year.
