Attention Students: Based on input from our student meeting in December with the Board of Education, we are going to try putting paper towels back in the student washrooms.  The reason they were taken away was misuse of them – wetting them and throwing them on the ceiling, clogging toilets, and more.  If that happens again, they will be taken away again, so please use the privilege of having them responsibly so everyone can use them and enjoy them.  Thanks!

LOST AND FOUND: There have been about 15 new hoodies added to the lost and found this morning. If you left a hoodie in the gym in the past week, please check out the Lost and Found next to the library. There are also a lot of water bottles that need to be reunited with their owners!
