Hallway Decorating!
Tis the season to show some cheer, so hallway decorating time is here. From the 9th – 11th our students will try, to put a little sparkle in everyone’s eye. The seniors and sophomores will tackle the task of making the 500 wing a winter blast, the juniors and freshmen will rise to the call to decorate the 300 wing with lights and all. So let’s join in the season of joy and hope and bring in some decorations that you have stored in a tote.
Nothing can be hung from light fixtures, exit signs, cameras, or any other object in the ceilings, please use removable items to hang decorations with and tape that can be removed. Please do not block any egresses or stairs this includes nothing on handrails. If you have any questions, please see Rich Gohl.
