This Week’s Trivia Question: What was the first name of the heroine of an 1884 book called “unquestionably the best novel yet produced by an American woman” at the time? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s answer was Groucho Marx. Our winner was Shannon Haggerty.

Have a great week! We’re making our schools even better together. Thank you!
