MEMORIAL MADNESS
Special Thanks I can’t believe that the school year has come to its end. It has been one of the most amazing years of my professional career. I would like to give a special thank you to all of the students who gave a hand in making this paper possible. A special thanks goes out to Anna Sallee for all of her hard work in making this newspaper come to life. Without her, it would have been impossible. Also, I would like to thank my lovely daughter, Angela, for assisting me in formatting all of these articles into one amazing paper. Thanks Ang! I hope everyone has a fantastic summer! See you all in September!
GOODBYE FOR NOW EVERYONE! SEE YOU AT THE BEACH! HOPE I HAVE MY SUNBLOCK!
