Willowbrook to celebrate 2015 Brook Olympics
Willowbrook is gearing up for the 2015 Brook Olympics, which will take place from March 9 to 13.
During the Brook Olympics, classes go head to head in a weeklong series of events and challenges, with the hope of their class being named the champion. For every event that takes place, a gold medal earns three points, a silver medal earns two points and a bronze medal earns one point. A culminating assembly will take place on March 13. The Brook Olympics, a vision of teacher and coach Matt Scott, were created to help initiate tradition and a sense of class spirit and pride at Willowbrook.
Not only do the Brook Olympics bring tradition, spirit and pride to Willowbrook, they also support the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life of District 88 All Youth. This year's relay event will take place on March 14 at Willowbrook to raise money for the society. For more information, go to www.RelayforLife.org/District88YouthIL. There also is Facial Hair February, where this year more than 20 male faculty and staff members gave up shaving for the month of February to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Participants collected donations from friends, family members, students and colleagues. A bracket will be used for students to determine the winners of Facial Hair February, and those winners will be announced during the assembly on March 13.
Willowbrook’s Blue Crew also invites students and staff members to participate in Spirit Dress Days during the Brook Olympics. The schedule is:
- Monday, March 9: Neon Day
- Tuesday, March 10: Trucker Tuesday
- Wednesday, March 11: Generations Day
- Thursday, March 12: Hawaiian Day
- Friday, March 13: Class Colors Day
