Students read a list of selected books ahead of time and then teamed up to answer questions based on their reading. A big thank you to Wil George and Christie Seivert for taking the students to the event. In Sheldon’s first year attending, the Orabs came home with a trophy — congratulations on an outstanding job! Way to go Orabs!
