During lunch on Thursday, October 11th. Team Triumph students had the opportunity to watch a live webcast with JK Rowling. Our favorite part was listening to Ms. Rowling read aloud her favorite part in the Sorcerer's Stone. She also answered many questions about the characters she created and where she comes up with her ideas for writing.
Band Announcement
