High School ASB Hosts Water Balloon Bonanza
From Shelley Joslin and Dominique Bartoughian, Leadership Studies Teachers:
The High School ASB/Leadership class hosted one of our most popular events of the year, our Back-to-School Water Balloon Bonanza, on Friday, August 22, on the Grauer field. All of our students joined in on the fun, and the field was full of smiles and energy as everyone had a blast celebrating the first week of school together. The ASB was excited to use reusable water balloons, which resulted in no mess left on the field after the event. Thanks to the ASB's organizing committee and the ASB students for their leadership with this event!
