CONGRATULATIONS TO GALO LOPEZ,
OUR NEW MR. NITRO!

On Friday, January 13th the 5th Annual Mr. Nitro pageant was held in the JWPAC and Senior Galo Lopez was crowned the winner!

Galo proved to be a triple-threat in the talent competition, performing a routine consisting of gymnastics, singing and playing the trumpet.

According to Mr. Livingston, ASB Advisor, this year the competitors were "one of the most talented group of contestants we've ever had. The decision was very difficult for the judges." 

Congratulations to Galo and thanks to all who came out to support ASB by attending the event.
