We are SO CLOSE to our goal!! Help us #FillTheMap before Easter!
On March 21, we posted a high-energy video from a teacher training exercise in Fauquier County, Virginia that went viral and picked up 70K+ views in less than a week’s time!

#EggDashChallenge my year 10s wrote 2 sets of clues in Indonesian stating where the egg was hidden. One clue went in the egg, the other went to students. They had to find the egg with the matching clue. Great success! pic.twitter.com/SgCa2yPiTM

Adding WEST VIRGINIA to our map!
I couldn’t just let West Virginia be blank on the #EggDashChallenge map! So #TigerAPLang competed today to see who knew their rhetorical terms the best. There might have been a few eggs in there with…other tasks. We took it outside for a dose of sunshine! #EDrenaline pic.twitter.com/scu4cir1A1
