Lock-In and Field Trip

The lock-in and field trip forms were handed out at last night's YAC meeting. Remember, to be eligible for these, you must have attended 3 or more YAC meetings this school year. If you did not (or aren't sure if you did), you need to talk to Miss Lowe. The forms are available at the YS desk for anyone who didn't get one (or for those of you who left theirs at Cafe Ole).

Important things to know:

• The lock-in is on July 17.
• The theme is beach.
• The field trip is on July 28.
• We are going to have a picnic outside the library and play games.

Any other questions? Just ask!
