It all started with Mrs. Goreham’s passion for baking! Dr. Egan suggested a fun activity be planned for middle school students, and the prize would be a homemade treat delivered to the winners. ??? ???? ????? ?? ???????? With the help of Mrs. Lucito, the VLD SCAVENGER HUNT was born.
HAST Middle School students were invited to participate in one activity that involved solving riddles like:
- On the HAST website find which middle school teacher is certified in 5 areas including Kahoot, EdPuzzle and Newsela? (Ms. Mace)
- Look up to a tree and you might see me, or in a nest on Mrs. Fenno’s Web TV. (Eagles)
- Search your emails for the answer to this one: What vitamin do you get from the sun? (Vitamin D)
- I am not a selfie, but I do show faces. Find me in bathrooms and a few other places. ???? ???? (Mirror)
Congratulations to Damien Wood (6th) and Olivia Beecher (7th) for getting them all correct! Other winners were: Caleb Powers, Triniti Williams, and Cesar Lagunas from 6th grade; Anthony Conception from 7th grade; and Mariana Gonzales and Adrian Padilla from 8th grade.
Another activity was to create a PicCollage of 20 items they could find in and around their homes. ??? ???? ????? Students got extra points if they could include family members. Some things they had to hunt for were:
- Something that opens and closes
- An oval shaped object
- A squishy item
- Something that represents HAST
Winners of the PicCollage Challenge were: Mariah Nevarez, Damien Wood, Cesar Lagunas and Ximena Jimenez from 6th grade; Olivia Beecher and Anthony Conception from 7th grade; and Danielle Nevarez from 8th grade.
