At Narragansett, the days included a visit from Sparks Ark, a yoga session, a game of middle school years with a Hollywood-themed celebration. Students walked the red carpet “Asteroid” in the gymnasium, a bouncy house, and a slide. At Village, teams competed in outside games including a wacky three-legged shoe scramble, tennis ball relay, 50-meter into the cafeteria, which was decorated with posters of Hollywood stars.
