The excitement of Vincent’s Quacky Quest continued this week as Tonkawa Elementary’s fourth grade team, Mrs. Levings, Mrs. Neal, and Ms. Ochoa, successfully tracked down their hidden ducks. With determination and teamwork, the trio made quick work of the challenge, much to the delight of their students. The fourth grade victory adds to the growing list of winners and keeps the friendly competition alive across the school.
As more classes join in, the question remains: who will rise to the challenge next in Vincent’s Quacky Quest?

Tonkawa Elementary kicked off a brand-new tradition this week with Vincent’s Quacky Quest, an activity by our very own elementary school counselor, Mrs. Vincent, to bring fun and teamwork into the school day. The challenge? Teachers search for their hidden ducks, with students cheering them on along the way.
The quest has already sparked excitement across grade levels, with students eagerly helping their teachers spot the well-hidden ducks. Week 1 wrapped up with Pre-K, Mrs. Goodwin, Mrs. Gilbert, and Ms. Jones, emerging as the first winners of the Quacky Quest. Their teamwork and sharp eyes brought home the victory and set the bar high for the weeks ahead.
With more rounds still to come, anticipation is building. Who will claim the next win in Vincent’s Quacky Quest?

Starting off the semester strong with learning about, Art is....
