Kirkpatrick Elementary School

🔐 Christmas Escape Success! 🔐 Our 3rd and 4th grade GT students worked incredibly hard as they tackled our Christmas Escape Breakout Challenge! 🎄🕵️‍♂️ Using critical thinking and teamwork, these students solved multi-step puzzles, cracked codes, and unlocked a series of breakout locks to “escape” the challenge. Every clue pushed their problem-solving skills to the next level—and they absolutely rose to the occasion!
