OUR SPEAKER IS COMING IN!

If any of you happen to be checking the blog over spring break (due to depression from being away from school, I assume), I have very exciting news. Our speaker, Ayuen Ajok, will be coming in to speak with our class on Monday, April 1. This is the first day back from the break.

If you see this, please think of a couple questions you would like to ask when he visits. Additionally, please let anyone in class know about this news!

Enjoy your break,

Ms. Brooks
