THE GREAT GAZILLION PUZZLE HUNT!
To help launch our Greenhills Gazillions, the JSC will be running a Gazillion Puzzle Fun Lunchtime on Thursday 24th March. During lunchtime, students are able to take part in an exciting puzzle piece hunt, earning a gazillion for each piece they find. Once pieces are located, they will be given to our JSC reps who will endeavour to put the puzzles back together! If we can all work as a Greenhills team to complete all four puzzles, we will receive a whopping $200 towards our whole school Gazillion total, bringing us that much closer to our next whole school reward!!!
Looking forward to a super fun time, hope to see you there!
