Student Appreciation 2007

On June 18, Bethany students and staff enjoyed a night of make-believe as part of an annual Student Appreciation event. The night was filled with laughter and surprise, as the students only clue to the evening was to come dressed tattered and torn as if they had been in a shipwreck. Little did they know, they were about to be stranded on an island run by fierce, yet friendly tribal people. After a delicious feast with their new friends, the freshmen students were led to a cave, where they discovered a treasure map and clues to finding the hidden treasure. Meanwhile the senior students traveled across the island trying to find a way to get home. On their journey they encountered mysterious jungle sisters who sent them on a scavenger hunt to find items they required in exchange for the only boat on the island. The rest of the evening was filled with daring escapes as the freshmen tried to track down their treasure, the seniors met up with a wild troll, and all of the students attempted to avoid being captured by pirates. The adventure ended with all staff and students back in the tribal village enjoying a tasty treat of banana splits in a coconut shell.

Thank you to mentor Via Cadena for taking pictures at the event.
