I hope everyone watched the 2025 College Football National Championship game! No. 8 Ohio State came out victorious over No. 7 Notre Dame. Thank you to everyone who sold squares for our fundraiser! It was very successful raising $1,725 for our team. Congratulations to Anna Almstedt who was the first swimmer to sell 4 squares! And congratulations to Anna Stiers who sold the most squares at 29!! Anna and Anna will receive their rewards during our end-of-season banquet.
