Our Annual Pizza and Bingo Night was a huge success, with an amazing turnout from students across all class levels. A special shoutout to our Education Club Officers, who did an incredible job emceeing the event and keeping the energy high all evening. They made it so much fun!

This photo was taken near the end of the night, and while many students had to leave earlier, we're grateful for everyone who joined us. From freshmen to seniors, nights like these remind us of the importance of building community and supporting one another as future educators.
