Happy Birthday to Ethan S. celebrating his birthday today and to Mr. Pioquinto celebrating his tomorrow.
Ag classes will begin today at EPS. Reminders to the Ag students driving, especially as EPS now has less available parking up here by the Ag room with the addition to the bus barn . Periods 5 and 6 – try to ride in one vehicle if possible. You can park along the greenhouse if there is room. May be safer to park along the street closer to B. Kallhoff’s home-just do not block the driveway into the parking lot or park behind someone.
Period 8: Any freshmen who are also in sports and will all drive separately; it is advised that they park down below on the east side of the gym. Come in from the wash bay/shop door that is right on the east, south end of the building. Mrs. Schwartz will make sure the door is unlocked to enter that way.
