Great example of educational fun on Fridays. I have my own Friday story. I’m a retired math and statistics professor who volunteers in 4th grade math on Fridays in a public school in Durham, NC. I divide the class into teams to play math games oriented to the curriculum. The classes I’ve worked with have done outstandingly well on NC end-of-grade tests. Incidentally, I know Ashland well. I grew up in Huntington. My wife was born and raised in Kenova.
