Winners of our Murder Mystery auction item (with 教师)!
Earlier this month, we held the 2018 Stars Auction. Seventy-five boarders crammed into the lounge of Walter Lamb Hall, waiting to bid their hard-earned “stars” on items ranging from a trip to a Renaissance Faire, 去参加神秘谋杀晚宴, to an enormous basket filled with gourmet food and snacks.
Boarding students earn their stars throughout the school year for doing good deeds in our community — helping a friend, 保持一个超级洁净的房间, doing an extra-great job during kitchen duty, 等. The aver年龄 student earns around 15 stars per year, but some earn as many as 40.The auction was conceived to reward our boarding students for collecting stars, and it quickly became one of our most e年龄rly anticipated nights of the year thanks to the draw of the auction items/experiences, which are enthusiastically donated by dorm parents, 老师, 和工作人员.
This year, the auction was a great success, with items taking in several hundred stars in bids. The highest single item, a murder mystery outing at the nearby Aaron Burr House B&B, was donated by Peter Martino, a dorm parent and our Theater Tech Director. It garnered 120 stars in a final bid (students can pool their stars to bid on the auction items). An experience like this dinner will likely become one of the winners' favorite memories of 韦德娱乐app下载地址.
