🚨 Big news: our 7th grade principal, Mr. Schwendeman, made his last morning announcement today—guess he’s finally free from the intercom! 🎤😎 After surviving middle school and endless lunch duty, he’s riding off into the sunset. We’ll miss the legendary sign-off: “Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours.” Best of luck! 🐴✌️#ItsAGreatDayToBeAMustang
