• Gym occupied by Secondary exams until noon on Tuesday, June 19^th.

• If it is rainy on Friday, June 22^nd, the Bouncy Castle will be in the gym. Otherwise, it goes in the yard as usual.
• The school will likely be off limits during the summer because of the projected flooring project so we will be collecting keys at the end of June.
