Color Wars

By Peter S. Tomorrow, Village school will be hosting its famous (and might I add, “colorful”) Color Wars!!! Basically, Color Wars is a prize given to a grade if they do well getting gems in their K.E.O.W. jars. Each team in the grade gets assigned a color, and on Friday, all the teams have to decorate their doors with their colors. The team with the best-decorated door wins! This year's grade is 5th grade, and a reminder to all 5th graders, wear yellow tomorrow to support your color, and let’s see who wins!
