Staff Meeting
March Madness
Are you ready to POP into Keystone’s Annual March Madness? This year, it’s all about Faygo!
On Wednesday,
you’ll receive your official Faygo March Madness tournament bracket in your
mailbox. Before you make your picks, you’ll have the chance to taste all of the
flavors to make an informed decision.
To participate,
complete your entire bracket by choosing the flavor you believe will reign
supreme. Once you’ve crowned your champion, make a copy of your completed
bracket and turn it in to Jorvonna no later than noon on Friday, March 13.
Beginning
Thursday, March 19, two competing Faygo flavors will face off daily in the
lounge. Grab one of each, cast your vote, and help decide who advances. Daily
winners will be announced based on staff votes.
Over the course
of a week and a half, we’ll battle it out to determine Keystone’s ultimate
Faygo champion. The final winner will be revealed on Monday, March 30.
If you select
the winning flavor, you win! If multiple brackets correctly predict the
champion, the tiebreaker will go to the person who accurately predicted the
most daily winners throughout the tournament.
Brackets ready.
Flavors chilled. Let the battle fizz on!
Out of the Building
I will be out of the
building on Tuesday and Wednesday attending NHA’s Annual March Principal
Meeting. Stacey will serve as Acting Principal on Tuesday, and Tameka will
serve as Acting Principal on Wednesday.
