Ash P. - During Wellness Day, Ash displayed his courage to lead a small group in a real life wilderness medical scenario to treat and evacuate a patient with a broken leg. He approached the scenario with focus applying the techniques we talked about and showed great care for the "patient." Awesome work! On top of all the other awesome stuff Ash does, he woke up EARLY to visit Sprouts with us and learn how to reduce food waste. When asked about what we learned, Ash shared some wisdom: if you order a meal at a restaurant and know you don't like tomatoes, just ask for no tomatoes! That way, it doesn't just get left on your plate and thrown away. Thank you for giving us food for thought! Ash was so busy with Matilda this semester (great job! :) ) but still participated in the Theatre Guild show of And Then There Was One. As the ethereal voice from the phone, Ash brought meaning to the show and was a fun castmate to everyone. :)
Zoey C. - Even though Zoey didn't have many lines in And Then There Was One, Zoey was vital to the show, with the physical comedy that was needed.
