Okay… this one was TOUGH. Like “had everyone rethinking their life choices” tough 😅
Our teams battled through yesterday’s challenge and solved 5 out of 8 — and honestly, that was impressive! This week’s puzzles were not playing around.
Big shoutout to our winners for sticking with it, working together, and earning those SOAR slips. When it gets hard, they don’t quit — they SOAR. 🚀
Congratulations to our Categories winners at lunch on Thursday — great teamwork. Way to soar, Freeland! 🦅
