Crusader of the Week
Meet Crusader of the Week Liam Armfield. Liam is in 6th Grade and has attended Shannon Forest Christian School since PK4. This year, Liam is helping design, paint and build the set for the upcoming spring musical, Seussical Jr. He loves Shannon Forest because of the Baseball team, the great community the teachers in Middle School provide and his Drama class. Liam shared a hidden talent with us during our interview. "One interesting fact about me is that I can solve any Rubik's Cube," added Liam. "The fastest one I ever completed was in 30 seconds." Check back next week to meet another student from Shannon Forest Christian School.
