Right when the bell was about to ring, the student was in labor and was about to give birth. They called 911 but knew they had to do something before they arrived.

Nurse Tootoo will forever be a hero at Hoggard.  ]]> 2017-09-15 13:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/celeste_power/vlerwzpjbcle/wish/187920443 celeste_power https://padlet.com/celeste_power/vlerwzpjbcle/wish/187925244 When you serve in court you are either serving as a witness or a juror.
