Crystal Baker Ability President

April Fool’s Day is shrouded in mystery. Historians aren’t sure exactly where it originated or how it came about. As a nod to this unofficial cooky holiday, Ability set our elected officer terms to begin on April 1st. It is my pleasure to introduce you to some familiar faces as well some new faces. Without further ado, here are your complete boards for the 2023-2024 term.
