In celebration of the upcoming wellness fair, the school counseling department has arranged a scavenger hunt, a DUCK HUNT! Project Gather the Flock challenges all students 9-12 to get off their phones and hunt the duck. The guidance counselors are hiding ducks around the school. The ducks will be hidden in plain sight in common areas like hallways, the media center and cafeterias. There are not ducks in classrooms.
Students are challenged to be present and observant as they move throughout the building. Students are asked to “put your phones in your pockets, take out your ear buds, and keep an eye out for tiny plastic ducks.”
Any students that find a duck should bring it to the guidance department for a chance to win a drawing! For every duck a students finds, the more chances the student has to win.
Guidance Counselor, Mr. Paul explains, “The intention of Gather the Flock is to help students to find the value in being present in a fun, incentivized way.”
