Haha. I remember these quizzes as a former student. And I must say, Mr. Glenn, much of what you taught has shaped who I am today as well. I am looking through your blog remembering how many opportunities and great memories I have from MCS. I am truly grateful that I got to attend such an amazing school.

Thank You!
