First Day Scavenger Hunt

The umbrella theme this year for Sabot is “Our Richmond”. The middle school students got a little taste of “Our Sabot” during a scavenger hunt on their first day of PE. It proved to be a great way to get exercise and to explore their school. Some of the scavenger clues involved the history of our school. Did you know the slate in the Gillette garden came from Libby Prison, a prison and hospital during the Civil War? You can still see the jail cell numbers and the holes where the bars went.

Below are some of the clues and images of the fun.
