Take Our Test!

This is a video from a professor/teacher of learning named Danny Brassell.  He came to JJH last year during our full-day faculty meeting and sang us a song about getting ready for taking a test, like the ISATs to the tune of Beauty and the Beast's "Be Our Guest". Although this isn't video from our school, it's the same experience.  Enjoy!
