One of the ongoing traditions of Homecoming Week for St. John Lutheran, Olympiad, is a fun and exciting two day event competition between the ninth through 12th grades.  It was first created by the class of 2006 and is a favorite among the students. During Olympiad, high school students get to participate in a wide variety of activities. Coach Lausier said, “The purpose of Olympiad is to gain among the classes, you want each class to bond and come together and the lower classmen always try to beat the upper classmen.” Some of the activities included in Olympiad are kickball, powder-puff football, doughnut eating, elimination volleyball and knock-out. St. John Lutheran student, Jenny Koch, says that she likes the healthy and fun competiveness of Olympiad with each class. However, she would like Olympiad activities to last all week. The students also hosted a canned food drive to earn points for each class.  As the scores were added up, the seniors ruled and were announced as the overall winners of Olympiad 2010.
