This Week’s Trivia Question: Nick DelBanco, whose child attended this week’s field hockey opponent Ann Arbor Greenhills, wore the “apricot scarf” mentioned in what Carly Simon song? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets a mention in next week’s Cheat Sheet). Last week’s question was, “Since 9/11, a fish species found in Reeds Lake has been used to monitor New York City water to detect possible terrorist attacks. What species?” The answer was bluegill. Doug Congdon was the first to get the right answer.

Have a great week! Together, we’re investing in our students, because the future belongs to Pioneers.
