Day 2 of Cougar Clash!! The Freshman Class is in the lead with 16 points. Sophomores have 12 points, Juniors have 8 points, and Seniors have zero. Today’s class activity is a scavenger hunt. Here is the first riddle of the day: I’m tall when I’m young, and short when I’m old. What am I?? If you know the answer, send a message on the ASB instagram page, or come to the quad at lunch to get your points! The second clue will be given at nutrition break. Tomorrow’s dress-up day is band t-shirts, with a lip-sync contest at lunch! We will wrap up this first-time event with a rally on Friday with some special last-minute guests competing for the winning title!
