The winner of the $15 gift card at Chapters for the “Staff and Their Pets” bulletin board, with 7/9 pairs correct was Ms. Glenda McInnis. Not one participant got all the answers correct. In true school spirit, Ms. McInnis gave the card back. So, in a random draw, Christina Somers wins the card. Thanks, Ms. McInnis, and to all who participated.
