Jenga Tournament Winner!
After a fierce tournament that lasted an hour yesterday, we had a Jenga winner! Brockque Tonini cleaned up in the end in a final nail-biter competition with the library director! The competitors were Jacob, Paula, Robin, AJ, and the Champion, Brockque. Paula was taunted and jeered but put on a tremendous performance! Robin had the steady hands of a surgeon, Jacob had the confidence of youth, and AJ was just going for it! In the end, Brockque demonstrated superior skill and strategy! Congratulations Brockque!!! He won the book Conrad's Fate by Diana Wynne Jones, which was generously donated by the Bookloft!
