- Lunches- 3 lunches implemented, lines on floor, dots on floor to wait their turn. Kids are spread out on tables. Kids are able to eat outside.
- October 1st form open to parents to submit to change on-line or in person. Choices due by Oct. 12.

Examples include:

3) Teacher Recognitions/Expenditures
