The class of 2019 held its first social event at Townline Luxury Lanes. The social event was held on Saturday, June 4, at 4:00pm. The event was held for freshmen only at 10$ a person. The class advisor, Rebecca Corcoran, allowed for students to reserve a spot and create a team in her classroom, before the event. An award was reserved for the team who had the highest average of points.
Class officers, including president Angela Tejada-Soliz and treasurer Agatha Silva attended the event. Four teams were created and participated, varying in number of people per team. The number of games played also varied between the different teams.
Class president, Tejada-Soliz notes that the officers who did come “were definitely committed in making the event run as […] smoothly as possible. Of course, with the help of our class advisor Ms. Corcoran.” Tejada-Soliz says that “not having advertised it earlier […], as well as doing it at the same time as a sporting event,” were the events “weaknesses” planning-wise.
Class advisor Rebecca Corcoran also commented on the event. Corcoran notes that so far the class officers have cooperated “fantastically,” leading up to the event. The officers, along with Corcoran chose bowling because they “wanted to do more of a social event rather than a fundraiser. They thought it would be of high-interest.” Corcoran sees the event as successful, as “the people who came were really excited and had a great time.” Like Tejada-Soliz, Corcoran sees that they “need to be more aggressive in [their] outreach to the freshman class.” The class officers and advisor see more social events in the future, but whether or not these future events will include bowling, is still up in the air.
The winning team included freshmen Ari Cohen, Marcus Simon, Gabe Sanders, Cameron Oliveira, and Niko Bucchierri. Cohen has been bowling for eleven years, and he “likes bowling and winning.”
