Remember the library is still a library during Flex times. If you are coming to the library during flex the voices need to be kept low or off so other students can work or read. If talking with your friends is your plan, please spend your flex in the commons. You are also not allowed to eat lunch items in the library.
If you see a River Queen wrestler today, wish them luck as they compete in their Regional tournament today in Independence!
Today is Birthday Cake day for January AND July! Stop by the purple wall during lunch
