Bring on the Baron Games

By Kailyn Huynh

Fountain Valley High School (FVHS) students buzzed with excitement as the annual Baron Games approached this past Friday, Mar. 11. The event, which took place during the 3B period of assembly schedule, consisted of many thrilling games and activities to fuel the rivalry between the blue team (freshmen and seniors) and the yellow team (sophomores and juniors).

Yet, there’s so much more going on behind the scenes and before the games even begin. Let’s take a look at what some fellow Barons are up to during the morning of Baron Games.

Blue and yellow balloons are scattered across the FVHS campus. 

At 7:06 AM, the Masters of Ceremony begin rehearsing their lines as the sun rises during the hours before the event.

Students from the FVHS Dance Team are full of energy as they await their call time.

Crowds of ASB members prepare the blue and gold necklaces which will be handed out throughout the day.

ASB members carry bunches of bracelets, ready to pass them out.

Around 7:17 AM, students begin to enter the campus, ASB members hand out necklaces based on grade level.
