The Saber Slate is hosting a Quarantine Video Contest! What you need to do is submit a video of something that you’ve learned/a game you’ve come up with/something weird but cool /something to pass the time/basically anything fun! The videos will be posted on the Saber Slate to give each other fun ideas of what we can do while being quarantined and to continue to stay connected as a community. Plus, there will be prizes for the best three videos submitted! It wouldn’t be a contest without prizes. See the information below for more details.
GOAL:
Inspire each other with fun and interesting things to do while being quarantined, to continue to create a sense of community (even when we’re not all in the same building), and to inspire some friendly competition.
TIMELINE:
The competition will last from Monday, March 23 at 8:00 am through Sunday, April 5 at 11:59 pm. But the Saber Slate is accepting responses right now if you want to get yours done early.
STUDENT PRIZES:
For the student and their Gold Block:
1st Place = Jimmy Johns Sandwich/Pizza Party
