could travel in time, I'd visit..." by responding, "I'd visit the Italian Renaissance. I would

leaned. I might see the Carnevale and enjoy the fireworks at night or visit Galileo and look
at the stars"; and

palette, the Mona Lisa, a pie of pizza, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa to spell out "G-O-O-G-

thousand dollar technology stipend; and

achievements and for bringing recognition to the immense potential that lies within the youth
of this great state. ENROLLEDHR NO. 81
