Eagle Brief- April 29

Jesslyn McCutchen

The spring pep rally featured a dance competition between different departments. The math department wore shirts adorned with the phrase “Vote for Pedro,” a reference to the early 2000’s movie “Napoleon Dynamite.” Math came in second to the science department at the competition.
