To build school culture, counselors organized a Connect Four Tournament during the middle of March.
On April 17, all of the homerooms met in Seedorff gym and watched the final four while enjoying popcorn. The homerooms of Abigail Goldsmith, Jake Voss, Dale Sperfslage, and Jonathan Green qualified for the final four.
Abigail Goldsmith’s homeroom faced off with Jake Voss’ homeroom in the first game of the final four. Goldsmith’s homeroom came up short, losing within the first seven moves of Connect Four.
Goldsmith said, “It was really disappointing. I thought we would go all the way, and I’m proud of all the teamwork we put into Connect Four.”
Sperfslage’s homeroom beat Green’s homeroom in the final four, and in the championship, Voss’ homeroom beat Sperfslage’s homeroom.
Voss’ homeroom used several strategies to win. They tried to get the first move in each game, tried to not allow the opponent to get three in a row, and tried to stay one step ahead.
“We were lucky to get the first move in the finals,” Voss said.
Counselor Mackenzie Atwater said, “My favorite thing about Connect Four is I get to see a variety of students that I don’t necessarily see and see them laughing and having fun together.”
