In addition to these matters, Srija Boddu, a 3rd year BSMD student, was a guest speaker at one of the meetings in the past.
Stop and Shop Can Shakes are a method used by many clubs at Morris Hills High School to gain the funding to allow members of the club to engage in other activities due to an accumulation of valued resources.
