Dodgeball Tournament 2008

Fairless Middle School's Student Council held its first annual Dodgeball Tournament at the FMS Gym on Thursday, March 20th. With 150 players representing the students (that's 1/3 of the school population), playing against each other in grade brackets, with staff teams mixed in as well, the tournament was a huge success.

Sixth grade played during their activity period to produce grade level champions "The Monsters". During the Dodgeball Assembly in the afternoon, seventh grade champions "Team Fish" battled eighth grade's team "Cali Chronic", the sixth grade team, and a staff team in the final round. The staff team, comprised of multiple teachers representing all grades, pulled ahead for a narrow victory, followed closely by the sixth grade team.

The entire school was in attendance in the gym, and spirits were high, with lots of cheers, shouts, and screams of passion as teams won and lost. All teams played very well, and sportsmanship was high.

A special thanks go out to those who aided and assisted with the entire experience, especially Mr. Rimer for refereeing, Mrs. Barkan and Mr. Morris for keeping score, and to all other staff members who helped with crowd control, music, and general supervision. Thank you!
