Power is restored on campus

The power is back at Overlake and campus will open at 3:00 p.m. We are in the process of getting the buildings back online with heat and will be ready for the evening performance of Annie Jr. in Fulton Performing Arts Center, and for Robotics Sunday in the gym. This afternoon the US basketball teams and cast of Annie Jr. will be on campus practicing and rehearsing beginning at 3:00 p.m. Arts faculty and athletics coaches will reach out directly to the cast/crew/teams with details. We look forward to seeing many of you at Annie Jr. tonight and everyone back in classes Monday. Thank you for your partnership and community during this uncertain time.

Wings of Fire Escape Room

Students using a blacklight, melting ice, and digging in mud

This week, we ran an escape room based on the wildly popular series of dragon books, Wings of Fire by Tui Sutherland. The escape room, designed by Erica Testani, a youth services librarian in Virginia, involved students digging in the mud in the Mud Kingdom, melting ice in the Ice Kingdom, and piecing a puzzle with an invisible message on it in the Rainforest Kingdom. All in all, they had to figure out how to open two number locks, two word locks, a key lock and a directional lock. It took some doing, but they finally escaped!

Thanks also go to Kent Renno for making up a lovely tub of mud for us. :-)
