The <a href=\"http:\/\/stapletonconnect.com\/events\/bill-roberts-westerly-creek-spirit-games?xg_source=activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spirit Games<\/a> will have several old school college games, and some with a snobby, Stapleton twist.  For example, beer pong will be played with craft beer or even white wine instead of the typical less expensive domestic brews.  The Stapletonion is dubbing this game \u201csnob pong.\u201d\nOther than snob pong, some other games up for consideration include:\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li>Cornhole (played on a custom handcrafted set of Brazilian Walnut boards)<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Bocce Ball (using a 250 carat diamond as the bocce)<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Wii Bowling<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Trivial Pursuit  <\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Foosball<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Bubble Hockey <\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Air Hockey<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Shuffle Board<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Pool<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Darts<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Quarters (but will be played with 1921 silver dollars valued at almost $8,000)<\/li>\n\n\n <\/ul>\n\n\nThe <a href=\"http:\/\/stapletonconnect.com\/events\/bill-roberts-westerly-creek-spirit-games?xg_source=activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spirit Games<\/a> should be a great time, and parents from both schools will have a lot of fun in what will hopefully be an annual event.  \u201cEveryone knows all Stapleton schools are great schools,\u201d says Oltersdorf.  \u201cThis is another way to let parents get together for some fun, have some school pride, and raise money for needed resources for each of these great schools.\u201d  For more information on the Spirit Games, <a href=\"http:\/\/stapletonconnect.com\/events\/bill-roberts-westerly-creek-spirit-games?xg_source=activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a>  or contact <a href=\"mailto:oltersdorf@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dan Oltersdorf<\/a>, <a href=\"mailto:chantell@chantelltaylor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chantell Taylor<\/a>, or <a href=\"mailto:cathykautzman@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy Kautzman<\/a>.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4006","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-63","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4006"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4006\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
