Spartans Catch Fire!

Joseph McCurdy, Community Contributor

Over 55 Spartans (students & staff alike!) attended the Media Center’s after school fieldtrip to see the movie Catching Fire at AMC Chicago Ridge.  Catching Fire is the sequel in the outrageously popular Hunger Games trilogy, an exciting young adult novel series by Suzanne Collins.  Students enjoyed a pizza party and trivia in the Media Center beforehand.  Some students even arrived dressed in their favorite Hunger Games gear.       

Every Tuesday before Thanksgiving the Media Center takes an after school fieldtrip to see a film based on a popular book.  Past events included trips to see Harry Potter and all the Twilight movies.  With Catching Fire’s cliffhanger ending, no doubt the group will be back to see Mockingjay in 2014!          

Event chaperones were Gloria Barrera, Pam Duff, Erin Lee, Eileen Jones, Kathy Massura, Joe McCurdy, Jessica Nickless, Jennifer Sidlow, and retired OLCHS staff members Dorothy Michels and Cathy Morrin.
