Countdown: Waiting for the Big Reveal
Soon there will be no more secrets. Just one more week until
the Big Reveal! Here's what some of you have said:


"We thought this would be nearly impossible at first, but then as we put the clues together -- the photoperiods and then the interdisciplinary clues -- we became more confident!"
Ms. Howard's Grade 5, Avon Grove Charter School, West Grove, PA

"It was fun, challenging, and we cannot wait to see how well we did!" Ms. K. Goodwin's class, Franklin, MA

"We're hoping that we found everyone!"
Mrs. Nancy Bonner's class, Nanuet, NY

" The class says.... It was fun and challenging!"
"We discovered places that we never even heard of."
 Ms. Kofira of Murray Centennial PS, Trenton, ON

"The kids are excited and waiting to meet our new friends. They already started making a flag of 'their' country and are researching recipes for our celebration after the big reveal."
Mrs. Marsha Lodge's Class, Hebron, CT
Now Playing: Watch the Excitement

Advice from Teachers: Time to Celebrate!

In these last eleven weeks, everyone has worked very hard
and learned so much.

So each year when the secret locations are disclosed, teacher Barb DeSantis from New Jersey throws a party that's fun and quite revealing for her students. Drop in and plan your own festivities! >> 

Astronomical Acknowledgments

For many years now our astronomy expert, Rod Nerdahl, has carefully researched and provided us with standard sunrise/sunset and latitude/longitude data. Special thanks to Rod for keeping us "on time" and "in line", and also for his insights about egg balancing on the equinox.
"Ad astra" (to the stars)  Rod! 

Top Secret Thanks

Thank you secret mystery sites!

In one short week, everyone will finally know where you are. We know you worked very hard creating the clues, and everyone around the world really appreciates all that you've done this season!
