Still to come.........lizzo has a big announcement to make.

The details coming up in to make.

The details coming up in ente after the break, we'll introducpeaker 1: it's no secret educators h whiz to figure out just how much arlene crabtree does at frankfort high school.

It turns out she is a math whiz teaching algebra 2.

Arlene crabtree: i absolutely love teaching algebra 2.

Speaker 1: of course, that's not all she does.

All i can do is give you the ability
