A big congrats to our very talented color guard.  In four competitions thus far, they have been awarded 3 first places and one second place finish in Scholastic Class A.  They will be in competition at a very big WGI Regional event in Palm Beach this weekend.  I have enclosed a list of this group.  If you have them in class please congratulate them.  Jenna Rashbaum, Heather Nieves, Emily Zangari, Amber Kirby, Kimberly West, Valentina Gomez, Carolina Gomez, Jarrod Frazier, Lauren Davis, Lauren Masullo, Melissa Margolin, Ashley Cragle, Nicole Candelaria, Janeka Pierre, Katrina Serpa, Barbara Rubino, Jane Antunes, Annmarie DeMartino, Stephanie Shaktaman, Allison Artip
