The Riddle Scoreboard is near the front entrance of the School. 🎨 Assistant Principal Mr. Rahar commented on the project, "A student was able to share the creative idea with me and then I shared that idea with Mr. Niemerg and he selected leaders. This was created and ready to go within only a few days! The passion, creativity, and art skill involved is amazing! The adults had a totally different idea, however the students had a MUCH better idea that matched our theme and inspired others. Thank you to Mr. Niemerg and all the students involved!" 🙌
