January 25

Hi all!
Just a reminder to those who still need to bring in their permission slips: I will not be at WJPS on Monday so please leave these in my mailbox (main office). Bring your own lunch! If you would like a school lunch, you need to let me know ASAP.
We will leave as soon as the bus gets to WJPS on Tuesday morning. (Anywhere from 8:30 to 9 AM).
High school students, please make sure you are in the building by 8:30 AM. I will find a room where we can stay until it is time to go (most likely the pub lab, so meet me there if you cannot find me on Tuesday)This is a formal remembrance ceremony to commemorate a somber time in world history at the UN, so PLEASE dress accordingly (Uniform with blazer, khakis, and nothing flashy - bright ornaments, inappriorate clothing).We should be arricing back at WJPS at around 1 PM.
Let me know if there are any questions!
M. Fong
