A few messages from SJA:
Daily Challenge – This week is our Thumbless Wars! To complete each of the challenges you should wrap your thumb so it can’t be used. A bandage that folds it down, or duct tape (make sure you wrap in cling-wrap first so it doesn’t hurt taking the tape off!!). Whatever you need to use to make sure your thumb can’t be used.
Remember: each week we award a prize to the student who sends the most and best videos. The prize is an Uber Eats dinner of your choice worth $50!
Wednesday is Yummy Day in our Thumbless Wars! Choose a sealed candy (granola bar, chocolate bar, Bear Paw, something like that) and simply open it and eat it. Of course, you have no thumbs, so good luck with that. Send the video to Mr. Neal (sneal@stjudesacademy.com).
