This Week’s Trivia Question: At what national park did Gerald Ford work as a park ranger in 1936? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s question was, “What character is the official mascot of Scholastic Books?” The answer was Clifford the Big Red Dog. Karen King was our winner.

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