Students from the Art Club painted faces, while students from Student Council and National Honor Society managed the games. Students enjoyed being able to help with this because it allowed them to make memories with others in their school community. Student Council advisor Miss Stine believes helping with this event is important because "The three pillars of Student Council are spirit, social, and service, so it is important for Student Council to serve others in our school community."
