At 7:15, Southeast Polk Student Council is hosting the first ever Ram Games on the football field. The Ram Games will be a series of various activities including tug-of-war and three-legged races that teams of around 10 students will take part in. 
Korte Christensen, student body president, and the rest of student council have been planning this “field night” for weeks.
“The Ram Games were started because our goal this year is to get students more excited about being part of this school,” said Christensen.
Student Council has done a lot more this school year and they are working hard to get kids more involved.
“The purpose of the games is to get students involved in something different than they normally do and with kids they normally don’t normally associate with,” Christensen said.
The Ram Games are open to anyone and there is no cost to participate. Many students are already signed up and student council expects even more to show up at the start.
“Students should be excited to be a part of something new at our school. Who knows they may meet a lifelong friend or even a high school sweetheart while participating in a three-legged race,” said Christensen.
The Ram Games is a new tradition that student council and many students hope will carry on for many years to come. There are high hopes for not only those in charge of making tonight a night to remember, but also the students who come out and get involved.
“I see Ram Games as being a tradition at Southeast Polk for years to come. The Ram Games should be something kids get pumped for every year during homecoming week and I look forward to watching Student Council make this event bigger and better each year,” said Christensen.

Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It w...
