The Speedo 20/2/07 - 27/2/07

Thanks for all the students, teachers, and SPEED Callan staff who came to the Valentynki party last Friday! Without question, the party was a success, with much thanks for Eric for organizing the event and planning all the games. We gave away many prizes that night, including:

• beer-chugging contest
• student wearing the most red
• limbo
• teacher trivia - eye color
• guessing the number of candies in the jar

Prizes included hour-conversations with teachers, free breakfasts, California wine, 5 free beers, and, last but not least, a beautiful piece of Eric's artwork!

(last but not least means: it was stated last, but is as good, if not better, than everything previously stated)

Check out some pictures from the party:

The teachers had a GREAT time at the Valentynki party - we hope you did, too! If you missed the party, don't worry - we are planning another one for March... St. Patrick's Day!
