Catholic Schools Week Competitions


Traditionally, there are two major competitions during Catholic Schools Week at St. Brigid: the 8th grade vs. staff volleyball game and Dancemania.

Both the students and the staff had an excited crowd of spectators for the volleyball game, with many children bearing signs in support of their teachers or 8th grade friends. With two games being played at once, there was a lot to cheer for! One game ended in a tie, and the staff won the other.

Dancemania is a favorite Catholic Schools Week activity. Each grade level was assigned a song and asked to create a dance. After practicing all week, the kids performed in front of judges who selected winners in various categories.

On Friday, the entire school gathered in the Fr. Hayes Center for the big competition. Trish Moulton, a parent who volunteered to run the event, called each group to the center of the gym to show off their moves. Performances were judged based on coordination, choreography, costumes and participation. The winners of the Spirit Sticks this year were Grade 7, grade 3 and Kindergarten.
