Schoolwide Fun-Family Feud

 

We will be playing our annual Keystone Family Feud game the week of April 6 and this year, it’s BIGGER and BETTER!

We’re keeping everything you love, with two exciting new additions: Traditional “Feud” Questions and Fast Money (lightning) rounds that allow students to participate alongside staff.

Click HERE for everything that you need to know. Please do not forget to submit your answers with your students and auxiliary staff member by the deadline! 

I will be sending calendar invites to assist you with keeping everything organized—allowing you to focus on participating and guiding your team to victory.

The leadership team has been working hard to plan another memorable Staff Appreciation Week. We’re so excited to celebrate each of you in May!
