We are down to the final dozen in spymaster. Congratulations to the remaining few, I imagine it will only be a matter of time before we have our final two or three standing. Good luck spies!
Joke of the week: The track and field team complained that the hurdles were too short.
But I’m not worried, they’ll get over it.
Upcoming events include tennis, track and field and Spymaster.
Until the next time, “Dream and Believe. Learn and Achieve!”
