Museum School 25’s Snowman Scavenger Hunt: Paddington the snowman has gotten loose in the halls of Museum School 25. Beginning next week, the students and staff will try to find our sneaky little friend. Each day during announcements, Mr. Gray will share a riddle which contains Paddington’s secret hiding spot. Once Paddington has been found, the winning class will take a selfie with Paddington and collect the winning game piece. At the end of twelve days, the class that has the most game pieces will be treated to a hot breakfast with Mr. Gray. Good luck! ⛄️

Day 10- Paddington Riddle

I have escaped to a portal.. 
Not often used by studious mortals.
With a look of the majestic Hudson River....
All be it, the view is just a sliver.
In a moment of concern only two will use,,
So difficult a level is this clue?

Answer: I'm downstairs in the 3rd grade wing by the door.⛄

Congratulations to Ms. Raczy's 5th grade class!

Day 11- Paddington Riddle

To find me today, there is no playing around..
Look Hight and Low for me to be found.

Near a throne of garnet, I am near...
A location where pupils think and fear.

The thought of the blue is in my head, 
Sometimes my words are heard when said

While hidden behind a screen..
Not near a window will I be seen.

Answer: I'm at the security desk behind his computer.⛄

Congratulations to Ms. Grady #2's class!

The Final Riddle:


For my final departure from the office I go…
A nice spot found for final stow.
You can see me if you look from below…
Only credit is provided if you are walking slow.
Restorative I can be yet with Mr. Vergara am not…
Although not far must one trot.
I find myself closest to a worker .5,
So close to the bottom I must survive.
Hurry with safe haste as I fear I could melt…
So glad she understands how the learners have felt.
Find me this one time, please fast…
For the homeroom who finds me most wins the hot breakfast!
