Vancouver Admissions Gingerbread House Contest!
Twas’ the night before Christmas and all through the house, the admissions office was stirring and decorating a gingerbread house!

So here’s what happened:
- Admissions staff were divided into teams of four (two teams had three)
- They were given a pre-assembled gingerbread house to decorate
- They had 30 minutes to decorate their houses
- They were allowed to bring as many extra supplies as they wished
- The contest began!
