We are incredibly proud of our entire speech team!

We can't wait to see how much they continue to grow throughout the season. Way to go, Speech Team!
We want to say good morning and welcome to our subs in the building today!

Riddle of the week:
Q - What is 40 divided by ½, plus 15?
A - 95.
Why? Dividing by ½ is the same as multiplying by 2. So, 40 times 2 plus 15 equals 95!
The office sells bottled water, earbuds, and lip balm for $1.00 each.
