Nursing Ninjas

“Athena - the Greek goddess of wisdom and strength and the patron of scholars and cities. The Greeks Recognized that mind, spirit and body are what make the whole person.”

Saturday, February 20, 2010 was Mount St. Mary’s College 19th Annual Athenian Day. Different groups of people from the Mount community came together for one common purpose: to uphold the ultimate glory of first place, second place, third place, spirit award and costume award. Students and alumni battled through obstacles of games that ranged from balloon tag to creating a building with chop sticks. This year, the coordinators of Athenian Day added a brand new element, costume award; the teams were more spirited than ever. There were teams that dressed up in a variety of themes: 80s, Michael Jackson, super heroes, and more. Though teams fought long and hard, the team that ultimately won were:

1st place:

Nursing Ninjas

2nd place:

Mighty Morphins

3rd place and Spirit Award:

Athena's Army

Costume Award:

Girls Just Wanna have Fun
