Teamwork in action! 🐣✨ Mrs. Rendon’s fourth grade class worked together to hunt down their team Easter eggs and put their minds to the test by solving a 60-piece puzzle. Collaboration, problem-solving, and lots of fun all in one! 💛🧩










Week 4 = DONE and what a way to finish! 🔥
Our final challenge had students ski hopping back and forth over pool noodles, powering through the long jump, and racing back to tag their teammates in an all-out relay showdown. The fastest class took the win—and the energy was unmatched!
The Red Team came out on top AGAIN! 🏆
Shoutout to Ms. Huber, Mrs. Close, and Mrs. Patterson for an epic battle for gold, but in the end, Ms. Huber’s fourth graders claimed the victory! 💪
As the champions, Ms. Huber’s class earned the honor of picking a teacher for a dare… and they did NOT disappoint 😂 They chose Mrs. Wolford to do karaoke to a song of their choice while wearing a chicken costume! 🐔🎤
So proud of everyone’s effort, teamwork, and determination all four weeks. What a fun way to wrap up our weekly challenges! 🎉

The top teams earn their spot on the podium to battle it out for 🥇 gold, 🥈 silver, and 🥉 bronze! Our gold medal team competes against each other for the ultimate gold medal!
Here is a week one recap!
A big congratulations to Mrs. Wiles’ class for taking home the GOLD for week one! 🥇👏 As our gold medal champions, they earned the chance to choose a staff member from another team to complete a fun challenge—and they picked 5th grade teacher, Mr. West!
Mr. West bravely took on the “mystery three-course meal” challenge, featuring a mayo and butter salad, chocolate and mustard-covered broccoli, and a “moldy” cupcake from behind the fridge 🤢😄 His final (and much-deserved!) treat was a plate of delicious mini cupcakes! 🧁
We’re loving the energy, teamwork, and dedication to reading. Let the games continue! 📖✨
