To celebrate the end of a super successful semester of 121Reach and the coming of winter break, tutors and tutees gathered one last time at the Taylor Road Media Center for some fun, food, and gifts. There was more than enough of food (thanks to everyone for bringing something and thanks to Mrs. White and Mrs. Sheppard for organizing the table!). The beginning was pretty relaxed, as we all mingled and ate some food, but as the cart in the middle of the room became loaded with gifts, we soon got pretty excited for the gift exchange! Both tutors and tutees were asked to bring in a relatively cheap gift for a modified “White Elephant” exchange. Numbers were given out (there were almost 60 participants!) and the game began! The first number was called, and this lucky person chose a randomly wrapped gift on the cart to open. If the following participants really liked someone’s gift, they were allowed to steal it. The popular steal were some Cookies and Creme chocolate bars, much to my surprise. Although it became a little hectic, I enjoyed myself immensely, especially watching some boys picking gifts that were totally geared towards girls (body mist??). Anyways, it was great fun and I hope everyone else who came enjoyed themselves, too! Don’t forget to check out the pictures!!!
