BOBBY WALLIS stepped up & volunteered to be the target of over 200 water balloons on Wednesday. They did three takes, and he walked away drenched, bruised, and with multiple welps on his body. Bobby's leadership in planning, communication, management and determination to make this a fun and memorable school year have been crucial to other events as well..
