We just had a fantastic morning meeting
We all welcomed Mrs. Mish to the fun! She and her husband are thrilled to be coming along!
We took another round of the names quiz. The average score for our whole group as a 66.5%. We need to get this raised! Please take the time to learn everyone’s first and last names. Yes, spelling counts! Our top scorers were: Liz (100%!), Alyssa (92.5%), Sako (92.5%), and Linnea (90%). Let’s get the average to a 95%!!
