You will stay in the Commons. Make plans now!

·      Summer school information meeting, tonight, 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. in the Commons.  Come prepared to pay $10 per class you will need (maximum $30).  Come if you think you might need it to recover a class.  You can reserve your spot and pay on the first day if it turns out you need it.

·      Seniors don’t forget this Friday’s Social at Victor Ashe Park from 5:00 – 8:00!  You need to sign up so they can plan for food.  Go here to register for free - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UsvFeGp3Y8D9_Z2me8ViKjHvC4p6V6KWU99lWG_g4Jc/edit
