Ding-a-ling! Step right up, Woodland! It’s Friday, May 29th, and I’ve got the sweetest scoop of the year for you. Forget my truck for a minute because the Ice Cream Social is hitting the courtyard during a special 30-minute advisory today. We’ve got the basics, but the big secret flavor is Cookie Dough! You can pile on whipped cream, sprinkles, or crushed Oreos, but keep your hands back—Student Government is doing the scooping. This tradition started way back in 2009. You'd better hope the second floor gets released first so you can snag that cookie dough before it’s gone! While you're chilling, here’s the news: France overturned a 178-year-old property law, and Brazil's deforestation is finally slowing down. If you’re saving your nickels, Jeff Bezos is backing a $20,000 "Transformer" EV that’s as bare-bones as a plain wafer. In sports, golf beat Seymour, and tennis faces the Killingly Trailblazers today. Plus, the Spurs and Thunder are headed to Game 7! Now get out there and enjoy the weather—it’s a perfect day for a cold treat!

This May 28th "B-day" is truly special because our seniors have finally returned to the hill from their "fortnight" away. We aren't just a school; we are a record-breaking family celebrating 17 Halo Award nominations for our drama department, proving we have the "Meryl Streeps "of high school theater! From discussing NASA's three moon bases and the Chicago Bears' potential move, to the "Presidents" mascot of Warren G. Harding High, we bring the world to the courtyard. (music starts to fade in) I would be remiss if I didn't note how the baseball and softball teams rallied in their valiant, tight-scoring NVL tournament efforts. I must thank the WRSG and the Big Dipper for the upcoming ice cream social—the secret flavor reveal tomorrow is the cliffhanger of the season! (microphone begins to recede into the floor) To my partners Tomlin, Decker, and Amato—we did it! (speech speeds up trying to get the last few words in) Everyone, please support the Class of 2027 car wash, charge your Chromebooks, and watch out for Saturday's rain. (Music swells) Thank you, Woodland! (Audience erupts in thunderous applause) We’re knocking down the door!
