Friday Activity: Mummy Wrap
Hey Leopards,
We are hosting a mummy wrapping contest on 5/17. It will be held in front of the cafeteria for the 6th and 7th graders. For the 8th graders, it will be held under the solar panels. Three groups of two people are each given a roll of toilet paper and must decide who will be the wrapper and the person being wrapped. Once this is decided, the timer for 30 seconds will be started. At the very end, the people who aren’t playing will vote based on noise for each team. Whichever team is cheered for the most gets a prize. We hope to see you there!
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you Leopards who came by to check out the art walk and special thanks to our artists for creating the incredible art. We appreciate your contributions! - ASB
