Review Game - WINNING!!!

Congratulations to our Period 2 Winners!  DR and SD rocked the house and finished in record time.  This test should be a breeze for them!

Our Period 4 winners wanted to "pose" for the camera.  They are not good posers, but they sure can finish a few quickly and accurately.  Good luck tomorrow!

 UPSET ALERT!!!  Our Period 8 winners stole the show with their upset win.  Congrats to BH and AM on their big win.
