STUDENTS STAY UPDATED:
The student council has hidden small rubber duckies around the school. Finding these will result in extra points for your grade during the pep rally. Each grade has an assigned color, and can only be given to Mr. Raynor or Mrs. Jones at lunchtime. Each duck found will result in an extra point for your grade to help you win the spirit stick. Points will only be given if you give Mr. Raynor and Mrs. Jones the corresponding duck to your grade level. Hap Happy hunting!
