FALLS VILLAGE — Teams from each grade and a faculty and staff team competed in the Turkey Olympics Friday afternoon, Nov. 18, at Housatonic Valley Regional High School.

The sophomore class team prevailed after hard-fought contests in the Mummy Wrap, Dodge Ball and the Three-Legged Race.

The event kicked off with Red Light, in which everybody runs hard until the red light goes on, at which point everybody stops, abruptly, with varying degrees of success.

Social Studies teacher Peter Vermilyea showed impressive elastic tenacity before succumbing to gravity in the Limbo.

Everybody was in good spirits and had a lot of fun.
