Bigfoot was on the move again.
🚨 BIGFOOT SIGHTING ALERT! 🚨
I’m taller than most and always full of cheer,
With a smile and a joke, I bring plenty of good humor here! 😎
I check to make sure you’re on track,
If you need a hand, I’ll help get you back!
But when there’s an emergency, I’m ready to go,
With the fire department, I’m part of the show! 🚒
I keep an eye on the students and make sure they’re all right,
Now go find this towering jokester hiding in plain sight!
Answer: Kelly

Bigfoot is on the move again.
Clue 4
🚨 BIGFOOT SIGHTING ALERT! 🚨
Your next stop is someone who’s cool under pressure,
knows the school inside and out,
and always seems to know what’s going on. 😎
🏈 He knows his way around a football field,
but this time, he’s calling the plays inside the school!
He’s got the school spirit,
the football knowledge,
and the answers you’re looking for.
You’ll find Bigfoot somewhere in his morning
student huddles.

The hunt is not done yet. They have found clue 3 and found Bigfoot once again.
Bigfoot has been spotted!
Bigfoot has been on the move,
Leaving clues for you to prove!
He's tired of hiding and ready to roam,
So he headed somewhere filled with numbers-not a home!
Where problems are solved and numbers grow,
That's where Bigfoot wants you to go!
Your next clue is waiting in the room where math makes your brain go boom!
Hurry before Bigfoot gets there first!
