The Crookston High School’s annual Snow Fest is next week, February 6-10, with the theme of a Snow Fest Road Trip, where for each day of the week, the school will hold special themes for the students based on four states around the United States.
Student Council Advisor Linda Morgan first shared that on Monday, the school will first “travel” to Washington D.C. and will have a theme of a USA Day, where the students wear red, white, and blue or other American flag attire. On Tuesday, the school will “travel” to Florida and celebrate a Beach Day, where students can dress in Hawaiian shirts and shorts and look ready to catch some rays while competing in fun activities organized by the Student Council. “On Tuesday, the kids came up with an Escape Room. So, they’re organizing all of that. I’m staying out of that part, so they’re going to organize that within the classrooms for each grade from 9th through 12th grade will have their own little escape room,” Linda Morgan explained. “I’m not quite sure how it works, the girls are handling it, and I’m letting them be in charge of that activity for that day. I’m very proud of the kids doing it. They’re taking charge and organizing it. I’m glad they’re taking charge of that activity.”
On Wednesday, the school will “travel” to Texas and celebrate a Cowboy/Cowgirl Day before taking part in various activities for prizes in the High School gymnasium. “On Wednesday, we’re going to have activities for the 9th through 12th grade. We’re going to take them into the gym, and we have four activities planned,” Linda Morgan explained. “Then we’re also going to announce the Snow Fest royalty, I’m currently busy getting that counted at the ballots for the 9th through 12th grade, and we’ll announce that first before we do four different activities. We’ll have sign-ups for those activities with each grade. They’re competing against each other. We’ll have events like the three-legged race, a surfing game, and a balloon game.” While the senior high students partake in that, the junior high students will play Bingo. On Thursday, the school will “travel” to California, where they will celebrate Frat Day, to wear items of college frats. The school will finish the week off by returning home to celebrate Pirate Pride Day on Friday. The school will operate on an Assembly Schedule because it holds a Pep Fest at the end of the day, where the seniors of the winter sports teams will be recognized before performing another series of activities with the team seniors. Along with the sports seniors, the school’s Dance Team will perform a few routines for the students.
To finish the week, the school will have its Snow Fest Dance for the students. The Junior High Dance will be from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., while the Senior High Dance will be from 9:00 to midnight. The school will use a set music playlist for the dance and have many games for them to play. “It’s more of a casual, formal dance. The girls like to get dressed,” Linda Morgan explained. “If you are bringing an out-of-town guest, you need to come to the office and get signed up for that, and so they have papers on that if you’re bringing in an out-of-town guest.”
