Gregg Hall Girls have been soaking up the beautiful spring weather and enjoying outdoor fun. A highlight was our House vs. House campus scavenger hunt! Each house searched for 25 items across campus, with staff snapping photos as proof. Bonus laughs came from tracking down Assistant Director of Student Life Mat Ward—extra points if he was on his scooter!
After racing back to the dorm together, Hufflepuff claimed first place, followed closely by Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor. It was a great mix of teamwork, fun, and friendly competition.
