Before we get to “bragging rights” I would want to meet with her, her mother, and her principal to see what could get her in trouble.
Good point. Schools can be very fickle places.
If the school is medium to gun friendly, the best bet might be to *imagine* the event as a “girls shooting competition”, with an adult giving the principal a piece of paper to say that the girls “competed” and won the competition as a team, based on their “composite target shooting scores.” (Nobody is going to remember how everyone shot.)
With the idea that the letter be read on the PA system as part of the morning messages. This would open the door wide, making them the popular students of the hour, and they could talk about guns without fear of repercussions for a time. If the Principal refuses to or doesn’t read it, no problem, and it doesn’t reflect on the girls.
Just an idea.
