Here&amp;#039;s a rundown of the events going on this week: MONDAY -Music in the Atrium -Cafeteria Appreciation -Onyx 9 Slam TUESDAY -Music in the Atrium -Battle of the States WEDNESDAY -Music in the Atrium -Black Family Conference -&amp;quot;In Living Color&amp;quot; Pool Party THURSDAY -T Shirt Day (wear your class t-shirt) -Music in the Atrium -Seminar: Why Are Looks Everything? -Onyx 9 Movie Night FRIDAY -Music in the Atrium -Freshman Ball: A Different World SATURDAY -Class Field Day -Holland: &amp;quot;House Party&amp;quot;    Fun, right? So far, I&amp;#039;ve been to the Onyx 9 Slam, the Opening Ceremony for the Conference and Battle of the States. My favorite event so far would have to be Battle of the States, it was so much fun to watch! At this event, all of the regions represented at my school, the Midwest (my region!), North, South, Mid-Atlantic (DMV), and the West, compete in Fashion, Dance and Talent. The regions have been practicing for months and you could really tell how hard they worked to put on a great show. I was so excited every time the Midwest came on the stage and felt so proud of my region. I was even more excited when the judges announced that... the Midwest won the competition!! Yay! First place was the Midwest, the South came in second and the North won third place. It was defintely a fun experience, especially since I&amp;#039;m from the winning region! I really can&amp;#039;t wait for Friday, because that&amp;#039;s the day of the Freshman Ball! All of the freshman will be dressed in their gowns and tuxes and it should be really fun. There will be limos picking us up from our dorms to take us to the ballroom; it&amp;#039;s almost like a college version of prom! I received my dress in the mail today and I love it! I can&amp;#039;t wait to show all of you the pictures. It&amp;#039;s so crazy to me how right now we&amp;#039;re celebrating being freshmen at Hampton, but in just a little over a month, we&amp;#039;ll be sophomores! This school year went by so fast. -Paige Does your school host events specifically for your class? Share the details in the comments! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
