My Final Blue and Gold Day
For those of you who don't know, blue and gold day is a very, very, very, very, very intense day in which the school is divided into the blue team and the gold team. I am the on the blue team because....
my sister was on the blue team AND before that my aunt was on the blue team. Similarly at the boys school across the street that has the colors light blue and dark blue: my cousin was on the dark blue team because my uncle was on dark blue because my dad was on dark blue.
People are sorted onto these teams when they first attend the school. So yes, I have been on the blue team for 14 years. (pre-k through 12th)
On blue and gold day, each grade has a race. Lower school (k-5th) races are worth 1 point each, middle school (5th-8th) races are worth 2 points, and upper school (9th-12th) races are worth 3 points. This was the closest blue and gold day we've had in a long time.
At the end of the lower school races, the score was 3-3.
Click to viewAt the end of the middle school races, the score was 5-9 gold.
At the end of the 11th grade race, the score was 11-12 gold.
It was all up to the 12th grade to decide the winner with the tug-of-war.
But gold won.
