    Although we were short 2 students for team awards due to illnesses, these students excelled and have committed to come back better and stronger next year! I want to thank Mr. Bailey, and Ms. Guefen for chaperoning and supporting students. I could have not done this without them. Special thanks to Tania Vargas, Mike Culley, Iara Coltro, Coral Murray, and our school’s theater department for letting us use some of their props.
