This year was the return of a "traditional". Carnival. Most students were excited for the return of Carnival as it was before COVID-19 hit and affected us all. This Carnival featured new activities which students enjoyed, such as archery.
This year's carnival was definitely tricky to plan. Ms. Montgomery, the new Activities coordinator, had less than 4 weeks to coordinate 4 days' worth of events that students would enjoy participating in.
Ms. Montgomery, although being a former Piper herself, had to learn the way that Galt currently operates in order to maximize the number of events. She says that due to COVID-19, many events needed special planning in order to avoid large groups of people in one location. However, having a numerous choice of activities proved complex as there had to be a supervisor at each event. In the end, even with issues such as the pandemic and the weather, she was able to make Carnival as "normal" as it could be.
Some people might be wondering how points are awarded to each team. This depended on the activity. Activities with more participants, and more difficulty, earned teams a larger amount of points. However, winning an event wasn't the only way to win points, as participation also played a role in the standings.
Carnival was an exciting week, which ended with close standings. The Lizards took first place with a mere 7 points over the Devils, securing their status as champions for the third year in a row. The Gremlins were 50 points away from the Lizards. The Armadillos landed 140 points away from 1st place.
