Just in time for our spring break, our MAS C2C groups all got to participate and work together to decorate āchicken coupsā where we later voted on our most creative decorating and then we got to compete each team for who scored the most points. Congratulations to the Sea Turtles and Seals for earning the most ping pong points!
