PICTURES BEACH DAY BEFORE BREAK - TEAM IMAGINATION Since the day before Spring Break was much like a Friday, there was time allotted for fun activities. Team Imagination declared Thursday 4-14-2022 a beach day and students came dressed appropriately. One of the activities students took part in was the oreo challenge. The goal was to move an oreo from one’s forehead and into the mouth using only facial movements and gravity, not hands. Very entertaining! Link to 42 Pictures. VOYAGERS CHANGE SINGS PROJECT - BASHAW Students each took a page from the book, Change Sings, and then we looked at how we can make the world better one small change at a time.

If behavior or hate speech of this kind is observed and/or reported, the site officials will stop the event immediately to meet with the coaches and the game officials about the next possible outcomes of violating this expectation, which could include:  Immediate ejection from the event Ending the event early and returning home  Forfeiture of the event or future events Resuming the game without fans  Scheduling future games without fans  Restrictions/suspensions from future attendance/participation Adults and students are encouraged and expected to work together to ensure a meaningful and safe learning environment for our communities to grow and thrive together.  Thank you to all participants for helping ensure the highest levels of respect and safety for all.
