Anne Roberts Young Elementary

Each year during the first week of school ARYES has a scavenger hunt. Classes are given a list of 18 activities to complete. Items include actions incorporated with our WE ROCK acronym, specific landmarks in the school or just fun challenges.

The school wide scavenger hunt is used to build community, familiarize students with the school (especially new students) and reinforce that WE ROCK (Welcoming, Empathetic, Respectful, Open Minded, Co-operative, Kind)!
