Washington School had our first ever Souper Bowl Games for our 3rd through 6th graders. Mr. Ruiz did a fantastic job hosting the event!!
The students participated in a football themed spelling bee, trivia, and were randomly selected to participate in a football toss to earn School Bucks. Staff did a great job too! They competed against the students in trivia and we had some VERY brave teachers participate in blindfolded musical chairs. After all was said and done, 4th grade took the crown at the games.
We can’t wait for our next Souper Bowl Games!
