Are
you looking for a fun alternative to sitting at home, watching Netflix and
whining about how much you hate Valentine’s Day? There are many fun activities
run by different clubs at Woburn High to distract you from the love in the air.
During
school on Friday, February 14, Interact is hosting the annual Dating Game. This
fun activity can get you out of class for periods 6 and 7 to watch your
classmates embarrass themselves. Interact member and senior Dylan Scott
explained the format for this year’s Dating Game.
“There will be four
rounds including the regular ‘Bachelor Round,’ ‘Bachelorette Round’ and the
always fun ‘Best Friends Round.’ A new
addition this year will be the ‘Exes Round’ which will add a fun, new twist to
the event,” told Scott.
If you plan on attending
the Dating Game, make sure you get your ticket as soon as possible! Tickets
will be sold for $5 during all three lunches this week and are anticipated to
sell quickly. They will not be sold at the door.
Also,
with the spirit of love in the air, the Student Council will be selling both
carnations and serenades during lunch, which will be delivered to homeroom on
Friday. You can send a flower for just $1, or a serenade for $5. Use these fun
Valentine’s Day surprises to profess your love, embarrass a friend, or ask
someone to the upcoming prom. All proceeds will go to the Student Council. The
Student Council will only be selling these fun surprises until today and
they will not deliver serenades addressed anonymously, so be sure to note who
the serenade is coming from.
In the hopes of making
Valentine’s Day a little sweeter for some who may be lonely this year, the
Keystone Club will be having a bake sale on Friday during all three lunches.
They plan to have a selection of Valentine’s Day themed baked goods and candies
to support heart health. All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross, so
help support a great cause and get a treat in return.
If you are looking for
something to do this Friday night, attend the Intrepid Keystone Club’s “Have a
Heart” event. This event will be held at the Boys and Girls Club of Woburn from
9pm to midnight to benefit the American Red Cross. While admission is only to
wear the color red, they are asking you to bring some cash to buy baked goods,
drinks and snacks. The activities happening there include playing games, swimming and other fun Valentine’s Day centered
festivities. You will also be able to send your crush a Crush Soda for just $1
that evening, so be sure to bring money. Anyone is able to attend, whether you
are a member of the Club or not, so bring your friends and enjoy a fun night,
while supporting a great cause!
Whether you are looking
forward to Valentine’s Day or not, there is a lot going on this Friday. Between
the Dating Game, bake sales, the delivery of serenades and carnations, and the
Intrepid Keystone Club’s event, there is no excuse to ignore the love in the
air. If you are truly against anything love and Valentine’s Day, look forward
to President’s Day, which is right around the corner. Start your February
vacation off right and participate in the fun activities happening this Friday.
