Daily Announcements 09/23/2022
As we come up on Spirit Week and College Go Week, students and sponsors are reminded that only the blue painters tape or magnets may be used to hang items on lockers. No scotch tape, duct tape, etc. – these types of tapes can damage the paint. If for some reason there is something hanging on your lockers currently that was taped up with the incorrect tape, we ask that you remove it very carefully. See us in the office for some blue painters tape to replace those items on your locker. Your help is appreciated so that we may keep lockers looking nice.
