 |
| Parth shares his XtraMath certificate with the Crew! |
 |
| One of my most favorite parts about picking up the Crew from specials is watching or hearing what they are doing! Here they are in music class with Mr. Boyer! |
 |
| Piper reads her quote about responsibility before the Crew discusses it. Then, she shares what the quote means to her and asks a few Crew members to share their ideas. |

| Kaiden, Rose and Mary Jane set up their vehicle for testing while Eleanor prepares to time their vehicle. They will time their vehicle with three nozzles and different weights. |
