Happy holidays Sharks! I hope you are all having a wonderful time being around each other and getting holiday service events in. If you haven't noticed, outside its been pretty brisky, so if you have a service event outside make sure to dress warm, have fun, and take some cool pictures of you guys volunteering. Once your done, make sure to send your picture to Kaitlan, so she can put them in them on social media and the newsletter! Other than that, election times are coming around and I want to wish you all the best of luck in your running for office. Divisional Editor,
Micow Ly
