*UPDATE*
All math classes were able to solve the puzzles, unlock the antidote, and save humanity!
🧟‍♂️🧮 Zombie Math: Survival of the Fittest!
Today, during this #AmericanEducationWeek 🍎, students in Brenda Hommel’s Algebra II classes walked into a high-stakes, brain-busting challenge like no other! 🧠💥
Complete with an emergency message, music, lighting, a set design that rivals one from our drama department, and a “Zombie Teacher,” students were given 5 emergency alarms to solve a series of mind-melting math problems.
Each equation solved brought students closer to the combination that unlocked the antidote. But, along the way, students had to heed the time—after every alarm, students became "infected" by the mathematical chaos, and the stakes became exponentially higher! 🚨
Parents, could you beat the clock and survive the outbreak? ⏳

These young men have shown incredible dedication, resilience, and heart all season long, and now we want to honor their achievement the right way, with State Championship Rings.
Championship rings are a tradition that lasts a lifetime. We’re asking our community, alumni, families, and supporters to come together and help us cover the expenses so every player and coach can receive a ring at no cost to them.
👉 Please consider donating to our GoFundMe and sharing this post to help us celebrate this historic moment for Decatur Soccer.
Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
These boys made us proud. Let’s show them how proud!https://www.gofundme.com/f/stephen-decatur-high-school-boys-soccer-championship-rings?attribution_id=sl:7ec5df95-aafe-4de5-a7ec-acc9d4484baf&lang=en_US&ts=1763604653&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_control&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link
