‘The Hunger Games’ come to life

The eighth grade English classes at Liberty Park Middle School recently finished their study of The Hunger Games as a literary work. In addition to creating multi-media projects that explored the characters, settings and themes of the novel, students participated in a series of fun competitions.

Students were eliminated from each round of competition until there was an ultimate winner, or “tribute,” from each class. The competitions included cupcake decorating, a Capitol fashion day and a Tribute fashion day, a crossword puzzle, an obstacle course, and a shelter-building contest.

Winners from each class were Ashley Orkus, Megan Brunsvold, Egypt Pettway, Daryl Wilson, Haley Plemons and Katie Larson.
