Magelssen Elementary was busy today trying to catch a sneaky leprechaun!🍀The whole school joined in on a fun game of "Do You Have the Pot of Gold?" and if your class had it, you had to give it up when asked. The leprechaun kept everyone guessing as the pots of gold moved around the school. In the end, Mr. Woods' 5th graders & Mrs. Halbur's Kindergarteners were the final winners! Thanks to our Student Leaders for the fun day & for treating the winning classes to real pots of gold filled with chocolate coins! #FosstonStrong #WeAreFosston
