Before Thanksgiving break, Walt Whitman’s Senior class took on the high school faculty in an exciting and entertaining series of sporting events in Whitman’s south gymnasium. The annual Senior Faculty Sports Night is always an anticipated event as Seniors look forward to competing against the teachers, showing their youth and exuberance, while the faculty break out their old sweat bands and gym sneakers to show the students that they too have a history of athleticism.
In one of the most competitive Seniors versus Faculty Sports Nights in memory, it’s fair to say it was a fun evening for the annual friendly feud to take place between students and staff. From volleyball to basketball, tug-of-war to musical chairs, each event featured over the top competitive play for a chance at winning this year’s bragging rights.
Thank you to the faculty for coming down to compete and to Mrs. Zamow and the Senior Class Officer team for organizing the event. The event winner went down to the final tug in tug of war. This year’s Senior Faculty Sports Night win goes to… the Senior Class!
