Jr. High Taco Night - Friday April 18th

It was an evening to remember. Flora had just gotten back from picking up 30 tacos from Jack-In-The Box and 8 teens showed up at the Memorial Center Gym. The teens had no clue about what they were going to witness and partake in. As the youth leaders and Fr. Bong prepared the games for the night's events, the teens played basketball. At last the time had come, Round 1. Each teen was given a cup full of green sludge and was instructed to aim at their opponents bulls-eye. The ministers kindly handed out safety glasses and the game began.

The night had only started. Next the teens got into teams of 2. One member of the teen threw tortillas into the air backwards as the other teen tried to catch the tortillas into their sombrero.

Now it was time to get close and comfortable. Teens stayed in pairs of twos and had to feed their teammate by dipping chips into salsa... easy right? too bad they had to use their feet! (It's OK parents, they had plastic bags on their feet. We are sanitary here at St. James)

Last but not least, the day ended in a hot taco eating fest. However, the tacos weren't as hot as Fr. Bong wished. Maybe next time we will use more Habanero sauce. And yes, after a long evening, everyone enjoyed good food and great prizes!
