My name is Mark Huffer and I am a sophomore at Sycamore HS.  My favorite song is Oxygen by Lincoln Brewster and my favorite movie is Finding Dory.  I play soccer for Cincinnati United and recreational basketball.  I like The Office and Parks and Rec.  I have lived in Mexico for six years and been to Guatemala.  I wish to attend Moody Bible Institute for college and be a missionary when I am older in either Latin America or Africa.

This allows students to do what they want in ACE bell, but still gives them announcements that they can easily see.
