Ad's,
TPlease let your bus drivers and parents know the following. Our east parking lot at the Middle School will be reserved for bus parking and parent parking for our meet on 9/22. This is the lot that has the basketball goals on it on the east side of the middle school. To access this lot busses and parents should proceed south through town on 5th street to Peters Drive then east on Peters drive to the parking lot.

Our south lot which is the lot in front of the school will be closed as it will be used to stage the high school homecoming parade which is on the same day. The homecoming parade entries will be using the same route to get to their lot for staging as we are closing Harlan Wise Drive and Ethel to keep all vehicle traffic off of the running course.
