Lowerschoolers Dance, Laugh, and Compete in Games

Duck Week is an annnual fundraiser in The Lower School. The principal gathers many local charities that open booths with many fun things to do. The children's parents then provide their kids with money to spend on everything. All the money raised goes to helping the less fortunate, animals in trouble, and much more.

This year's Duck Week included an amazing disco, tattoos, and many more fun activities. There was a non-stop sound of kids laughing and enjoying themselves. While some were testing their newest dance moves, others would be talking and having fun with friends and listening to the newest music.

I had a talk with a third grade student, Oscar Bech Anderson.
How much fun do you find Duck Week?
"I love seeing all my friends in other classes."
Do you know that all the money raised goes to well known charities?
"Yes, it goes to many people in need."
Describe how fun it is working in booths.
"It's fun, but not the best because I cant buy things."
Kids continue to laugh and scream constantly, until the clock hits 15:00. Then the fun is over until the same time tomorrow. The kids seem to be happy spending money for the good. Some even said that they bought things for their friends since some were not allowed to bring money.

Finally, this not only benefitted the younger children but also high school students. They were able to help out at the event to contribute to their Duke of Edinburgh program. In conclusion, Duck Week was truly a great fundraiser, and we encourage other schools to be involved in a similar event such as this.
