Middle school students took a breather from academics in the spring party this past April 19. Hosted by the Middle School Student Council (MSSC), the social took place throughout the school including the Jetnasium, outer fields, and the dorm. The celebration began when all participants gathered in the futsal field to divide into teams. 

The social was a lively affair with a diverse range of activities from recreational sports of all kinds to games, topped off with a dinner that featured tteokbokki, hotdogs, popcorn, and chicken. Afterwards, unlike in previous years, students were given time to unwind in the dorm lobby at their own pace. 

With a variety of activities offered, there was something enjoyable for every attendant. “I liked it when we made s’mores in front of the bonfire near the end of the party. Playing sports was also really fun, but the bonfire event was much more memorable for me because we don’t usually eat s’mores, and making them in front of the fire was an uncommon experience,” shared Alex Yoo in seventh grade.

Others favored the games. “We finished the day with a really fun game that involved eggs. Participants had to break the egg on their foreheads and check if it was raw or hardboiled. Many people got the raw egg on their hair, and it was fun watching them. A friend of mine said that it was the best party of the year, and I feel great being a part of it,” said Minji Kim, member of the leadership team of the MSSC.

Wrapping up spring with this celebration, students slowly recover from the workload that amounted to them over the year for a final stretch. With strengthened camaraderie and memories built on, attendees hope to finish the school year strong.
