End of the Year Car Wash and Picnic
Written by Samantha Lipscomb on June 03, 2005
Every year, the Gaelhawks combine having fun with giving back to the community at their Car Wash and Picnic event. On Saturday, June 4, 2005, team members gathered at Echo Hose Ambulance Corps and spent the next four hours scrubbing down cars.
After a great turnout, Team 230 began to clean up in order to enjoy the great weather at the end-of-the-year picnic. Students and adults alike showed up at senior Matthew Aylward's house, ready to play volleyball, swim, and eat all the great food team parents had prepared. Award ceremonies began later in the afternoon, consisting of personal awards from students to teachers, the presentation of senior gifts, traditional student awards, and the announcement of next season's captains.
Award recipients for the 2005 season include: Thomas Victor (Spirit), Brian Rak (Media Technology), Claire Szeker (Unsung Hero), Stephen O'Connor (Talon), the Aylwards (Founder's), and Steven Symski (Engineer's Scholarship). Captains for the 2005-2006 school year are Samantha Lipscomb, Claire Szeker, and Thomas Victor.
Everyone was sad to see the season end, but the prospect of summer and a new season beginning in just a few months turned sadness into excitement. Good luck to the seniors, and we hope to see members returning next year!
