Lost and Found items in the Main Office!
The Bulldog mascot costume has been stolen, and the last sighting was at the staff karaoke party!
To figure out who did it, we need investigators like you! Join the Safe & Sound Mystery Hunt: The Case of the Stolen Bulldog Costume and help us figure out who’s behind the mic!
How to help:
Use your Detective Card (you can collect these in the Library, Activities Office, Student Services, or with Mrs. Schanz) to follow 12 clues hidden around the school between the staff.
Each staff member is considered a “suspect” with a clue leading to the next person.
Collect initials at each stop and learn quick Crime Stoppers / Safe & Sound tips along the way.
Once all clues are solved, find the culprit and turn in your completed card!
Why Participate:
This holiday-themed game is designed to promote school safety awareness through the Safe & Sound app and Crime Stoppers.
It’s fun, fast-paced, and a great way to connect with staff while learning how students can report safety concerns anonymously.

What can you win: If you crack the case, you can be entered into a raffle to win a $10 gift card to a local business!
