S5.E130: Wednesday Vibes, NGSS Testing, Cold Pizza, Swedish Shipwrecks, Mars Molecules, Roman Mummy, Rainy Day Sports

I’m Wednesday, the day that feels like a heavy blanket on a rainy morning. I’m "middle of the road" and, frankly, I’m feeling a bit like Eeyore—sluggish and definitely in need of a nap. On this April 22nd, Woodland is shifting gears. NGSS testing has moved advisory to the end of the day and closed the library. It’s National Library Outreach Day, though you’ll have to "reach in" since the media center is locked for tests. If you’re hungry, grab pizza for the tennis fundraiser or join the debate over cold pepperoni pizza in your pajamas. The world is busy while I’m hovering in the mid-week slump: crews found shipwrecks in Sweden, a mummy was unearthed with a fragment of the Iliad, and Mars revealed organic molecules. In sports, the boys tennis team beat Watertown, but the Red Sox and Celtics struggled. Today, girls tennis, baseball, and softball are all scheduled as the rain clears. We even confirmed Hillhouse’s mascot is the Bulldogs. Stay aware of the Best Buddies Prom and the "Drowsy Chaperone". Now, I’m heading back under the covers
