Addis, Junior Boarder from New York City
This past weekend was a very busy one for the junior class who on Sunday revealed their class project, the Dorcas Fair. The Dorcas Fair is a Westover tradition where the junior class creates a fair in the winter whose profits are all donated to charity. The money comes from selling things over the course of the year, silent auction baskets, and ameneties offered at the fair itself. The theme of the fair is kept a secret until the day of, and this year’s theme was Mario, as in the popular video game franchise! Creating the fair was a long process led by our three student Dorcas heads. The heads led meetings of the entire class every two weeks so we could paint posters, set the fair up, etc. I really enjoyed being a part of the Dorcas fair, even though it was very tiring. I cannot wait until we decide as a class which charities to donate the money to. Seeing our hard work go to a great cause would be so incredible.
