Game day fundraiser gives head start to Thanksgiving

By Alisha Reeves The Cody Connection

High school is all fun and games, right?

The Cody DIT senior class made that dream come true for the last two hours of school before Thanksgiving break. For the Game Day fundraiser, 80 students paid $2 each to play cards, board games and video games. Participants paid another dollar if they wanted free dress.

Twenty minutes after Game Day started, a fire drill forced everyone to take a break. After the short time-out, players picked up where they left off.

The interruption didn’t ruin the experience for senior Jasmine Golden.

“It was the best thing to happen to our school! We should do things like this more often,” Golden said.

Proceeds from Game Day will go help some class members pay their senior dues.
