Today, our amazing 9th graders focused on cheering each other on and building each other up (literally and figuratively)! 💪
First up, they tackled the River Crossing Challenge, where they worked together to "raft" across the "river" without touching the floor and retrieve the treasure. 🏝️🏆 They learned the magic of communication, positive reinforcement, and that sometimes slow and steady wins the race! 🐢✨
Next, it was time for some engineering fun with Tower Building. Armed with paper and teamwork, they brainstormed strategies and worked together to construct the tallest towers. The key? Communication, creativity, and collaboration.
To wrap up this awesome class, they poured their positivity into letters for our wrestlers, Naomi and Domingo, celebrating their hard work and cheering them on.
Way to go, Freshmen! You're building not just towers but strong bonds and brighter futures. 🌟
