No lunch today due to the early release. And don’t forget that we have no school on Monday.
Just so you have some forewarning,however, there are a couple of changes happening at lunchtime. The first is there will no longer be football played at lunch in the gym. Basketball and volleyball are still permitted.
The second is that release to go to the gym will happen by table. When your table is ready to go to the gym, you will raise your hand and a staff member will give you the go ahead once your area has been approved.
On Tuesday there will be someone in lunches to talk to you about bowling and answer any questions.
Wednesday there will be a soccer meeting for middle school students interested in playing soccer at 7:40am before school.
There is no sugar sling today since it is a ½ Day.
And now it’s time for the best time of the week, Ms. Holley’s Chuckle Time:
Question: When should you ask someone out on a coffee date?
Answer: When you like them a latte.
Have a fantastic Friday everybody & a Happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow!
