Who needs saws? 😆😮

It’s fun to find out someone’s hidden talent! And even better when they give an impromptu lesson so others can learn!

*please don’t try this at home!*

He went to lay flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier last week. The first time the public could do that in 100 years (for its 100th anniversary). There’s been a lot of this around campus since then, mostly while “guarding” 3 students claiming to be President, VP, and Secretary of State (of what, I’m not sure).
Everyone here is just being their unique authentic selves. It’s so awesome to see.

Last week some people learned a new (old) game called SPUD (the last video is from then). It was so fun someone persuaded a whole bunch of people to play again today (and some more people learned the game). You’ll see a bit of the rules/how to play in one of the videos. If you’re looking for a new game to play, this one is a definite winner! Wanna do a SPUD challenge with us? Try playing it at your school (or neighborhood) and post some pix —if you do, tag us in it! 😊🟢 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏿🏃‍♂️🏃🏻🏃🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️
