This past Friday, Riddle students enjoyed getting to silly string their teachers! The students have worked hard all year to complete WIGs (Wildly Important Goals). So far, they have completed over 3,000 WIGs! Teachers and other staff members including supervisors, the nurse, the school social worker, and a lunch lady ended up covered in silly string. What a blast for both the kids & staff!
