Colts Expo 2026
On April 23, 2026, our school hosted the exciting Colts Expo, an event designed to showcase the many clubs and activities students can join, as well as to welcome our incoming seventh graders. The day was filled with fun, creativity, and opportunities to get involved. One of the most popular attractions was the Student Council’s incredible escape room, which truly stole the show. The Student Council members worked tirelessly to create an immersive and interactive experience that engaged everyone who visited. Participants received an iPad that presented riddles and clues, guiding them to different locations within the Student Council room. To complete the challenge, students had to solve puzzles, find hidden clues, and complete fun tasks like playing basketball, arcade games, and brainteasers. The Student Council’s Escape Room was more than just a game—it was a demonstration of teamwork, problem-solving, and school spirit. Many attendees enjoyed the challenge, and families were amazed at how creatively the room was decorated and set up. The room was filled with vibrant decorations, fun props, and engaging activities that made it stand out as a highlight of the event. Throughout the day, Student Council members were on hand to answer questions, encourage participation, and share their experiences about being part of the council. Their enthusiasm was contagious, inspiring many students to consider joining the Student Council themselves. Several students left the event excited about the possibility of making a difference in the school and eager to participate in future events. Overall, the Colts Expo was a fantastic success—bringing students, families, and staff together for a day full of excitement, discovery, and inspiration. Thanks to the hard work and creativity of our Student Council, the event left a lasting impression and sparked new interests and ambitions among our students. We can’t wait to see what new adventures and club memberships this event will inspire in the weeks to come! Emmalia Tuagalu, 8th Grade Class Vice-President
