Seniors Jadyn Anderson and Derek Lundgren were selected Monday as queen and king of the Luverne High School 2019 Snow Week.
School counselor Amy Cook was mistress of ceremonies for the event that began in 2016.
“One thing that makes Snow Week unique is that the royal court is selected by teachers,” she said. “Ten seniors were chosen as recognition for positive leadership in the classroom, in Cardinal activities and in the community during their high school years.”
In addition to Anderson and Lundgren, nominees included Jackson Golla, Nathan Overgaard, Eric Thorson, Austin Winter, Carissa Cunningham, Jacinda Hustoft, Mackenzie Petersen and Emilie Staeffler.
Snow Week activities began Monday with students dressing in their pajamas.
Extreme wind chills closed school Tuesday and Wednesday, postponing the activities of Ride Your Snowmobile to School Day and a senior class trip to Great Bear Recreation Park near Sioux Falls to a later date.
Freshmen through seniors gathered in the school auditorium for the coronation that included a multiple-choice Snow Royalty Quiz.
Many of the answers received laughs from those attending the afternoon event.
Students, staff and a few parents learned that the newly crowned king Lundgren has watched games at 14 major league baseball stadiums and Anderson used the teacher bathroom all through her sixth-grade year because she thought the sign was just a suggestion.
