Today, we held a treasure hunt for the kids, which was a huge hit. In an attempt to find who was buried in the Grant's Tomb, they solved a series of 10 hard clues which led them to various places on Old Campus. Once they got to those places, they found their next set of clues - 4 map pieces, 5 tacks, and one piece of string. Using those materials, they found an "x" over a place on the map, and found their final clue, which led them to a book in the library with a key inside. The key let them into "Grant's Tomb" - the staff bathroom of Dwight Hall - where they found the treasure. The Green Team had two winning squads in the top 5, and the Red, Blue, and Yellow Teams all had one. Props to the 9th graders for leading their teams with poise and passion!
Following are some pictures of the event...
