Rock–Paper–Scissors Champion!
Congratulations to Julian Tiernan, our 4th-grade Rock–Paper–Scissors Champion! Julian showed great focus, strategy, and sportsmanship throughout the competition.
A special shout-out to Indi Holley, our amazing kindergartner who made it all the way to the final rounds! Indi’s determination and positive attitude were a wonderful example for everyone.
This fun school-wide challenge reminded us that games like Rock–Paper–Scissors aren’t just about winning—they’re about thinking ahead, showing respect, and cheering one another on.
Way to go, Mather Mustangs!
