Summer is the perfect time to do some Claremore FFA leadership training. Do you want to build some team bonding & strategic thinking? Fire thousands of paintballs at them🤣! Luckily Mick Schovanec and his crew at Paint Ball Land for hooking Mr. Boyer up with some extra firepower. "I'm definitely not as young as I used to be," said Boyer. The day was topped off with a little cookout & ice cream while playing basketball, throwing the frisbee and tossing the football around. What a great way to put the past year behind them and begin the new year with a positive team experience. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
