school, acquainting both the students and parents with the
school, administrators, facult, and staff. Prizes were given at
each stop, with Curriculum Coordinator Memory Gaines and
Principal Phyllis Elkins signing the completed “Clue Sheets” and
awarding the students with a “free 100 coupon” for their
efforts.
