Thank you to all the NABers who helped the students with their assignments. You all are amazing!

Lots of spammy edits this morning - count was over 500! The people I saw patrolling during this time were @R2_d2000 , @XxVxX , and @That21PilotsFan . It is very likely I missed some people, but thank you all!

Welcome to all the newbies!
