Hollywood, you look good, and the juniors may be at the top of the class with their hallway and wagon. The seniors, though, may just ride off into the sunset with the spirit stick tomorrow. This town is not big enough for the four of them.
The Freshman and Sophomore classes killed it on their hallway decorations and wagons. I think they may be the stars of the show! The Freshman had the Musicals genre, and the Sophomore was Horror.
Reminder! Early dismissal tomorrow Friday February 9th at 11:30am.
