AA Meet/Prom

Amanda, Tyler, Zach, Frankie, and I got back from the AA Meet on Friday. All of us had a spectacular time. The AA meet was focused on Technology.

The first day we got there, on Monday, we had the Science Fair and started the NYO events. There was 17 science projects from the entire district. There was a wide variety of different science projects. There was a panel of judges that went to every science project and for two minutes, the students had to explain to them what their science project was about. We placed fourth. Our science fair project was about how we could use a microwave to measure the speed of light. 

That night, we started the NYO events. We watched events such as the Two Foot High Kick, One Foot High Kick, Alaskan High Kick, One Arm Reach, and a few more. The events we couldn't complete that night, were completed the next night. I placed first in the girls Wrist Carry. I made it 115 feet, eight inches. I didn't qualify for state but I still made it pretty far. I was a little disappointed in myself but it gave me more incentive for next year. Frankie placed third in the Eskimo Stick pull. 

The next day, Tuesday, we started our classes. We were split up into groups and there were different classes we had to take. Some of the classes were iPhoto, iMovie, Archery, Public Speaking, Garage Band, and many others. That night we did NYO events such as the Indian Stick Pull, Seal Hop, Wrist Carry, and a couple more. We also had the middle school talent show. 

On Wednesday, we had even more class rotations and then later in the day, we had the middle school dance. We also had the winners of the public speaking class speak in front of all the students.  I got to help with the middle school dance because I am an iLeader. The middle school dance was lots of fun. We had fast songs and some slow songs. 

Thursday morning, the middle school left. We also had the speeches for the people that wanted to be on the Lake and Peninsula District Student Government (LPDSG). Earlier in the week we had nominations for Prom Court and then the LPDSG, I was able to get one of my friends to nominate me for student government and prom queen. After that we had the Highschool talent show. After that was  That day, during lunch, the current student government held the voting for both prom court and LPDSG. After that we had a suicide prevention presentation. From 2PM-5PM, students had a choice of going to a few different classes. These classes were taking the DMV Written test, Science Fun, Ice Fishing, Air Rifles, and the National Park Society (NPS). 

Student Government and the Student Leaders had to set up for prom in that time. After that, everyone had an hour to get ready. Prom started at 6PM and we had dinner from 6PM-7PM. After that we went through the National Honors Society ceremony. Once that was finished, we started the music and the dance. Around 10PM, we had the winners of Prom Court. The dance continued until midnight, then everyone cleaned up and then everyone went to bed. 

The next day, Friday, everyone packed up and left. The entire week, everyone had a blast. I will post pictures on Wednesday.
