Today was Spring Fling’s Super Day. Students dressed like their favorite superhero or supervillian. The traditional superheroes seemed to be the most popular, with Batman, Superman and Supergirl (I’m assuming that the pink “S” emblems were Supergirl’s) being the most common. A few Wonder Woman costumes were to be found along with a single Green Lantern T-shirt. Gabe Enriquez (our hardworking ASB Advisor) wore a Los Angeles Fire Department shirt, honoring some true heroes. The most creative shirt was a custom Super Joe Cardinal shirt. There were rumors of other unique costumes, but unfortunately I was unable to track them down.
I only found one teacher that dressed up for Super Day, Nicola Lamb. She had quite the impressive costume with a lamb costume and a Superman cape. The LL on the costume stands for Lamb Legacy. Apparently there’s a rivalry between her and fellow teacher Brian Blevins (who supports Blevins Nation). I would have to say that Lamb Legacy won this round!
Lunch time activities included music and a somewhat cryptic game that appeared to be something to do with donuts. The donuts were dangled on a string by one team member and the second member had to eat the donut without using their hands. It was rather difficult to follow the action, but by the end, one team had been disqualified and another team had won.
Super day is a part of Spring Fling, which is sponsored by the Santa Paula High School ASB. Tomorrow the Spring Fling rally will be held, and according to my ASB informant, Christian G., the theme will be “Boys vs. Girls” and it should be full of fun and excitement. For those who are keeping track, tomorrow will be Yellow and Black day (guys wear black, girls wear yellow) and Friday (last day of school before Spring Break!) will be opposites day.
ASB’s Spring Fling Rally was held at the end of the day today and the opening featured the national anthem performed by one of our talented vocalists. The theme of the rally was “Boys vs. Girls” and the first game was between eight students, four boys and four girls – split into teams of two. The object of the game was for one member to pull the other halfway across the floor on a piece of carpet, do a series of jumping jacks and pushups, “wheelbarrow” across the rest of the floor and then consume a rather unique mixture of pudding and corn, elegantly wrapped in a diaper. When all was said and done, the boys’ team won this rather unsavory contest.
This was followed by a cheer volume contest between the boys and the girls. It was quite loud. A second game followed, again between teams of boys and girls. This one was a simple eating contest to see who could eat the most jalapenos and drink the most soda. The boys again won this contest. Following this, ASB recognized both the Santa Paula High School Baseball and Softball teams. A second cheer volume contest was held with the girls yelling “Oh-La-La” and the boys yelling “Yeah Bro”. Again – both sides were very loud. The Golf team was then recognized as well as the Wrestling team. ASB pointed out that although Wrestling was a Winter sport, this year was the fifth year in a row (5-peat?) that they won the championship.
