Norwell holds 2018 Red's Fest

Norwell District Secondary School students gathered to partake in a variety of games and fun activities in celebration of the school’s annual Red’s Fest on Sept. 7.

This festival, held on the school Sports field was run by Norwell Student Council with the help of the school’s leadership class, to kick off the new school year, and help to make everyone feel welcome

The first Red’s Festival was held in 2017 and was a huge success according to school officials, who hope to continue this tradition for years to come.

From racing in human hamster balls, to playing soccer darts with a giant blow up target, to playing giant Jenga, the field was filled with fun things to do.

Along with the games, two food trucks were on site so students could purchase snacks.

Officials thanked Sweet Temptations and Beaver Tails for joining the event.

A new-to-Norwell student, Tyson Kuepfer, stated, “It was pretty good. Lots of things to do. Good food, and lots of things to keep you busy.”

“As a teacher, I felt that this school event was full of school spirit with a very positive atmosphere,” said teacher Leanne Morgan.

When asked about Norwell’s Red’s Fest and future festivals to come, vice-principal Alexis Kuper, responded, “The event went really well ... a lot smoother than last year. I can only imagine it will get better from here on out.”
