Tonkawa Elementary kicked off a brand-new tradition this week with Vincent’s Quacky Quest, an activity by our very own elementary school counselor, Mrs. Vincent, to bring fun and teamwork into the school day. The challenge? Teachers search for their hidden ducks, with students cheering them on along the way.
The quest has already sparked excitement across grade levels, with students eagerly helping their teachers spot the well-hidden ducks. Week 1 wrapped up with Pre-K, Mrs. Goodwin, Mrs. Gilbert, and Ms. Jones, emerging as the first winners of the Quacky Quest. Their teamwork and sharp eyes brought home the victory and set the bar high for the weeks ahead.
With more rounds still to come, anticipation is building. Who will claim the next win in Vincent’s Quacky Quest?
