This week for The Morning Thing Fave 5, we are sharing our 5 favorite memories from this past week.

  1. The WNZR “Sonfest Sync It” Contest kicked off! We are so excited to see what lip sync videos you create. Enter your video HERE.
  2. We LOVED filming the Big Blue Crew’s lip sync to “My Feet Are On The Rock” by I Am They. You have to check out how “cool” we are. 😊

  3. MVNU Move-In Day. We loved being part of the welcoming committee for over 370 freshmen as they moved onto the MVNU campus. Good luck!
  4. The WNZR Crew went out for pizza. We had no agenda, and no plan, just a time to relax and have fun!
  5. WNZR Leadership Team Training took place all this week at the station. We are excited to welcome in our student leaders for the 2018-2019 school year.

Please pray for our team!
