The Winterfest activities began on Monday, January 2 with an overall theme of candy and gum. Monday was sports day, and many attended the bingo event that night to win prizes from the local businesses. Randi Schmeusser, of the senior class, won the blackout round and received a $100 Visa gift card. Tuesday had a futuristic theme.

The second annual Mr. Lowry pageant took place Tuesday night. Senior J ’mar Tarafa won the competition.

Twin day was on Wednesday, and there were many duplicates around campus. During advisory, the Letterman’s club beat the faculty in a basketball game. A halftime activity took place during the game in which freshman Mark Lennel won a cash prize.

Students sported a classier look on Thursday for nerd day. Karaoke was that night and the auditorium was packed to its maximum occupancy with locals to see Lowry students and faculty sing. The boys varsity basketball team kicked off the night with a rendition of Aerosmith’s “Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing”, and Hailey Samms won first place.

The whole school was pumped for Friday, blue and gold day. A pep assembly included both cheer and dance performances, a royalty game, and the presentation of the Honorary Buckaroo. Friday night also included the Winterfest game where crowning took place. Amaya Criswell and Freddy Bernabe were crowned as Winterfest Royalty.
