Student Government Set to Host MHSN Olympics
On May 31, 2022, the Middletown High School North Student Government will be hosting their version of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games were originally created in ancient Greece that served as a Panhellenic festival that would be held every fourth year. This festival was made up of contests that included sports, music, and literature. Since the late 1800’s, the name has been used for a modified revival of the ancient Games, consisting of international athletic contests held at four-year intervals.
The goal of the Middletown High School North Olympics is to create a sense of unity and bonding among the four grade level classes. A total of eight teams will participate, with each team having a designated captain that is a member of MHSN Student Government. Each team leader will be responsible for making sure their team is organized and properly prepared for each event.
The teams will feature a mix of 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders and will be designated one of the following colors: Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Orange, Red and White.
