Our Lunch Program
Our Lunch Program
Come hang out in the media center during lunch! Monday is a mystery activity. Tuesday, we have a rotating schedule of club meetings (see the media center board for more). Wednesday, we're closed. Thursday is game day - we announce the game in advance and you can sign up to play starting the Monday before. Friday, we're cool, calm, and collected for a relaxed lunchtime.
This is what the schedule looks like for a normal week. Sometimes, there will be changes - check the board in the media center to see what's going on that week!
