The night of Winter Carnival was even more exciting. The evening featured a variety of games, including tug-of-war, human dogsled, dodgeball, and broomball. Students participated in the games with enthusiasm, cheering each other on and having a great time.

Godman started the evening off with a bang with an electrifying Wizard of Oz performance. Following up, Allen delivered a creative rendition of The Lion King. Eipper pulled up in penguin onesies for Happy Feet and deWindt told a story of the riveting between lost boys kidnapped by pirates from Peter Pan.
