On April 29th 2011 the Reagan DJ Club spun at the Wedgewood Park International Middle School Spring Luau!  Upperclassmen DJ's Teisha, Mimi, Ehab, and Jeremy worked as a team of young professionals and kept the crowd of younger International Baccalaureate students on their feet.  We even met a few future DJ Club members!  The DJ Club is thankful for Wedgewood's continued support of our club and we had a blast putting on the show for you!
