Shoutout to Easton Woolace for an outstanding performance—2nd overall individually out of 100+ players, All-Tournament Team selection, and the most power questions scored in the entire tournament!

🪨📄✂️ Rock, Paper, Scissors Showdown! 🪨📄✂️
We hosted our 3rd Annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament this week, and the competition was fierce! Students challenged one another between classes and at lunch—and even took on staff members!
During each challenge, if you lose, you give all your beads to the winner, raising the stakes every round. The students with the most beads from each class earned the chance to represent their class in the Ultimate Rock, Paper, Scissors Face-Off.
🏆 This year’s champion: Senior Hayley Dooley! 🏆
Congratulations, Hayley, and thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event so much fun! 🎉
