Amber Bee’s Honey Butter 🍯🧈 

Amber started Amber Bee’s Honey Butter in 2019 to help support her athletic endeavors during high school:

“Since that time, I have been able to help pay for my religious mission and now use the proceeds to help support my educational endeavors. I have enjoyed learning the ins and outs of running a small business and find great pleasure receiving positive feedback from satisfied customers!

As Amber Bee’s Honey Butter grows, we pledge to remain small and friendly to provide the best product on the market today! I hope you enjoy Amber Bee’s Honey Butter as much as I enjoy making and providing it to you!”

We’ll always let you know if something is sponsored.

Madness at the Marriott Center 🏀🔥 

What was once a student only event has now been opened up to the public. It’s free! It’s family friendly! And, of course, it’s going to be tons of fun!

The men’s and women’s teams will be introduced, and there are going to be giveaways, contests, and lots of love showered down on Kevin Young for giving us the best offseason ever. Hopefully the regular season is just as good, for both the men’s and women’s teams.

(Just one more note if you are planning to go, students can get in as early as 5:30pm, and then at 6:00pm the doors are open to the general public.)
