Students of the Week
Audrey Hall and Dallas Howard
"Both girls were on the bus that was hit by a car this week. Noticing how nervous their classmates were, they decided to do the Sarnoff Squeeze that is a breathing exercise they learned in TV Production to decrease nervousness. They said they were not sure if the exercise worked, but they all got a good laugh and relaxed a bit." ~ Ms. Prescott
