3/11/16, and it was Blue and Gold Night at Oaklyn Public School! So we spent the latter part of the 71st day of 2016 in the Gym of the School, watching the 7th, 8th, and 9th graders compete in a Spirit-Day set of competitions. And, tonight, Alexa's Gold Team was on the losing end of most of the competitions, athletically, but her team won the Philanthropic, Academic, and Spirit categories. All in all, it really does not matter who wins (to me, it matters a lot to the kids, I'll admit), I enjoy watching the competition and enjoy the fact that this tradition has been going on so long that one of the parents of the Blue team was rooting for Gold because that is what HE was on, years ago, when he was at OPS. Oaklyn School may be small, but the spirit and the teamwork and the camaraderie were large tonight, and these are memories I am sure Alexa will remember for years to come. So the song today does not relate to ether of the teams, but, instead, speaks to the School Spirit that this night fosters!
