PRE-ROLL:  [Video Tribute to Sam]


This past weekend, tragedy struck one of our own. At this time, we would like to have a moment of silence in solemn remembrance of Samuel Mwarey.


The family thanks you all for your support and for those choosing to wear white today in honor of Sam. For those who are still grieving, counseling support is available today in the LRC. Today, let us remember Sam as he was, and let our hearts begin to heal.


PREVIEW: On today's bulletin, May Day Court, Track and Field Sign ups  and more. Coming up next!
