Scavenger Hunt boards will be sent home with students today, detailing participating locations and instructions. As students visit each business, they will mark their boards and inform their teacher. Those who complete the hunt and turn in their board by March 18th will have the chance to win great prizes!
Participating Locations:
📍 Sedro-Woolley Fire Station
📍 Sedro-Woolley Police Department
