Hopefully, the weather warms up permanently. We are hitting the final stretch of the school year, so please make sure you are staying on top of things.
There was a lot of excitement on the diamond and track last night, so make sure you check out the scores and highlights.
The school year will be over before we know it, as we only have 28 class days left in high school, so make sure you stay on top of everything, so you pass all your classes and don't have to attend summer school.
