Today, students at HES kicked off Cub Quest experiences. We will spend six Friday afternoons, from now through December, doing something FUN. Students got to pick from groups like card games, puzzles, painting, crafts, nature, community service, drawing, construction crew, Japanese culture (they were pros with chopsticks), nail painting, exercise (they learned how to play Rugby), Pokémon Club, and Boys to Men (this is a leadership group and today included some martial arts). Based on the smiles and conversations at dismissal, it was the highlight of the week!
