Family time IS fuel time! We had an energetic and fun group join us for our 6th grade family event, Puzzle Wars, this past Saturday evening. Our “minute-to-win-it” type puzzle contests kickstarted their speed puzzling journey. There were plenty of snacks and everyone went home with a prize or two and a puzzling tips and tricks page.
