Flash Says
This year is off to a busy start!
I've really enjoyed getting to
see new and returning students
around campus.
Spending time with the 8th graders from Massillon
Middle School was also a great experience.
Thanks to everyone who took photos with me at
Spirit Fest, the Student Organization Resource
Fair and the American Heart Association Heart
Walk!
I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!
Don't forget to wear your Blue and Gold on
Thursdays. GO FLASHES!
