Trivia Night
The teachers did it again! They were the winners of this year's Trivia Night. Congratulations!! And who knew those Duck Dynasty guys were so smart. They came in 2nd place. The winners of the table theme contest were the characters of the classic board game "Clue". They were impressively appointed with "weapons" and all! Thanks so much to all those who helped to set up and, especially, clean up. Thanks to Therese Pickart and David Winkler for helping the night run smoothly again this year. And last, but never least, many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Falk. The event would not be possible without them. We are so fortunate here at SMV to have such dedicated people!!
Those of you who took pictures, could you please send some on to Home & School. Thanks again! Until next year...Chris and Mary Kay Zukowski
