Welcome Yo-Yo Enthusiasts
All middle school students are invited to join the Yo-Yo and Rubik's Cube Club every Monday during lunch from 11:30 - 11:55. We meet at the tables along the Field House wall outside the Pavilion. Whether you want to attend every week or just occasionally, the choice is yours. Certificates will be awarded to participants during the Club Awards on Tuesday, April 8. Just make sure to sign the club sign-up sheet to be eligible.
​
Grab your lunch and join us in solving Rubik's cubes. We rely on our student experts to assist with cube-solving, so your expertise is appreciated! For those interested in yo-yos, we'll practice tricks on the spacious grassy area between the Pavilion and the Field House. You're welcome to bring your own cubes and yo-yos or borrow one from Mr. Colby. Please ensure all borrowed items are returned (with yo-yos wound up) at the end of lunch.

Interested in some friendly competition? We'll be hosting a yo-yo contest in the spring. More details on the competition can be found below.
