Let’s Play a Game:

Two truths and a lie! Would you believe us if we said students of the Freshman class … 

• ... traveled around the world with their father going "caving" or spelunking.
• ... decided to be homeschooled for a whole year while they traveled the world by bike with their family!
• ... worked as a beach lifeguard and successfully rescued a man who was in a jet skiing accident.

(Actually, they are all true!)
