With our very virtual year winding down, StuCo thought it would be fitting to have a Virtual Escape Room! We've created a Google Form "Escape Room" where students (either in teams or as an individual) must solve riddles, answer questions, and  finish challenges in order to complete the Escape Room! This event will be held on Zoom! We've created a fun story and some challenging and exciting tasks, and we hope you will join us on Wednesday, June 9th @ 1:00pmto participate! Please see the event flyer hereas it has all of the details, including a link to a sign up form (which all participants must fill out in order to attend). Lastly, the winners (who finish the Escape Room the fastest and most accurately) will each receive a $25 gift card to their favorite "virtual" locations!

Check out the flyer attached to see the results of our SMS Mask Design Competition! Thanks to all who participated! Our winner of the mask design competition was Marena Chen, whose Among Us mask was the winner of our vote. However, Student Council was informed that the creators of Among Us have requested that we do not sell anything that represents their game or characters since we do not hold the rights to them. Therefore, while Marena has won the competition and earned the prizes, the first runner up, Le-Yuan Yin, will have his mask used for our community mask ordering (mask shown here) Also, if you'd like to order our winning mask, use this Google Form to place your order! (Remember to read all of the instructions carefully about payment and picking up masks!)

There is still one week left in our Mask Design Competition! Please watch this video to find out some important info if you plan on creating a mask design (or sending in a new one)!
