GROSSMONT COLLEGE — The Associated Students of Grossmont College (ASGC) is sponsoring a series of contests and other events during Spirit Week, which this year will run from October 18 to October 23.

Events Monday through Thursday will run from 11-1 at the Upper East Quad (the grassy knoll near Sodexo’s new location).

Monday will have a hula hoop contest and a root beer pong contest, as well as music and prizes.

Tuesday will feature a mini-soccer game and a water balloon toss, as well as music and prizes. Students are also encouraged to support the Grossmont women’s soccer team at their 1 pm game on the football field.

On Wednesday students can play mini-volleyball, compete in a 3-legged race, and buy (at “non-Sodexo prices”) hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, water, and lemonade at the student-sponsored BBQ. Proceeds will go towards a Grossmont student scholarship fund. 

Thursday is “Wear Green and Gold” day. The action moves to the Main Quad, with the BBQ and musical entertainment by “Republic of Letters” and “Yung D.“ Benefit sticker holders are eligible for a gift card drawing.

On Friday morning donuts and coffee will be sold at the Upper East Quad.  The Woman’s Volleyball team will play Southwestern at the Gym at 5 pm.

Finally, on Saturday, the football Griffins battle Mt. Sac at 1 pm on the football field, in a battle of top-ranked teams.    – William Dudley
