EJH VOLLEYBALL RELEASE (9/11)
Flat Shakespeare is still having a good time! We are happy that he got to answer the phones in the office a little bit—maybe that’s why phone service was down last week? He tried on a Railers jersey, and we’re happy to see he’s being doing his homework and following the speed limit! It seems like he has a very active SnapChat life, as well! Silly Shakespeare!
Just a reminder to ALL High School Students, FCCLA is hosting Friends Fun Night TONIGHT from 6-8. Come join us!!
