The Spring TIDE Committee sponsored a morning rally to introduce students to “Spring TIDE 2013 – March Madness” and encourage them to participate. The Student Council Executive Board led the rally with help from Mr. Paul Sanborn and Mr. Roger Mecouch who explained how students can participate in the fundraiser by selling raffle tickets and earning prizes as individuals and as a homeroom. Then Student Council conducted a 2 minute three–point shoot-out contest among four faculty/staff members and one student, Mr. Mark Aquilante, Mr. Joe Donahue, Mr. Pat Kane, Mr. Pat Natlle and senior Patrick Kinsella. The first round led to a tie between Mr. Donahue and Pat Kinsella with 8 baskets each. After another 1 minute round, Mr. Joe Donahue was declared the winner with 11 baskets.
