At
8:00 PM on a Sunday night, the outdoor basketball court was filled with dorm
students from all three dorms. They had gathered there to celebrate Valentine’s
Day.
“Do
we have everyone? Let’s go,” said Joseph Leech (12) as the junior/senior group
headed over to their first station, Jaffray Dorm.
Each
year, the dorm parents always come up with fun events for their dorm students.
This year for Valentine’s Day, the dorm parents decided to treat their kids to
a Progressive Valentine’s Treat Night. Starting at the outdoor basketball court
area, everyone was placed in groups of 15-20 people (a combination of two small
devotional groups) and each group was designated a station (Jaffray, Ziemer, or
Jackson) to go to. With each station being 20 minutes, every dorm had their own
special activity and treat planned. Jaffray dorm provided savory marinated
drumsticks with yellow rice, Ziemer dorm provided tasty cookies and decorative
icing, and Jackson dorm provided scrumptious mini cheesecakes drizzled with
raspberry sauce.
“The
food was great and I liked the activities we did in each dorm. I like my dorm
community,” said Areeya Kunawaradisai (10).
In Jaffray dorm, each person drew a riddle
card or a Valentine’s Day question and answered the questions, going around in
a circle. In Ziemer dorm, everyone got excited with the sprinkles and silver
balls for decorating his or her own cookie. In Jackson dorm, each person wrote
a note or a letter to a person whom they felt loved by.
Dorm
students were able to enjoy each other’s company and eat amazing food that
night.
“I really appreciated the effort and the treat
for us; I had a fun time,” said Alex Chan (10).
