A new riddle awaits students every day in the National Zones, and those who answer correctly all five days will be entered into a raffle for four $25 gift cards!

Unfortunately, no students won last week because too few answered all five riddles. Make sure your child doesn’t miss out—encourage them to check the Town Crier daily and submit their answer!

✨ Remind your student to visit the National Zones and solve today’s riddle!

🏫 Build-A-Desk & Customize a Locker! A Space to Call Their Own!

The K12 Zone is designed to give students everything they’d have in a brick-and-mortar school, including their own desk and locker!

🪑 Build-A-Desk – Students can now customize a desk that will always be in the zone, making their space feel more personal. Desks are located at the top of all zones, and additional desks can be added from the scene library.

🔐 Personal Lockers – Just like in a physical school, students can decorate and customize their own locker. Once claimed, it’s theirs to keep—no one else can take it!

Encourage your student to make their space their own and enjoy a fully immersive virtual school experience!
