Bullet Point Wednesday....

Super quick one today since it was Mr. Hubbard's alumni day.  I had about 10+  high school students come by and visit throughout the afternoon.  The high school is in the middle of their final's week so the students have some time to visit.  So we reminisced about the "good old days."

Here is today in bullet point format:
