​A note for outside play at lunch. If you use balls from the equipment bag, please stay away from the parked vehicles! Staff witnessed several vehicles being hit by balls yesterday, not good! Duty staff, please move students away from the vehicles. Beginning next Monday there will be an extra duty person outside to monitor the parking lot.
