NED Speaker At Minnie Ruffin
Paul Zelhart, a show performer for NED, came to Minnie Ruffin and showed us some fun tricks with the yoyo, and he also told us never to give up. He is a speaker who pushes students to do their best, never give up, and encourage others. He told us never to rush through the test because, on the leap test, you will not be able to re-submit it.

Ten-Year-Old Birthday Party
Davyon Hamilton celebrated his tenth birthday with a sleepover at the Hampton Inn, and we had lots of fun. We even got in the pool. We had pizza and cookie cake and went to the gym to work out. We also played hide-and-seek in the dark. Happy birthday Davyon.
Hats Off To Mr. Robert Wright
