Just a quick update. The Blesch school building had two code yellows yesterday 10/10/22. Both codes were due to standard protocols. We needed to keep students from being in the halls. At no time were any students at risk of harm.

MAPS just celebrated Poisson d'avril in Mme Kakuk French classes Friday, April 8th. It is very much like April Fool's Day but the big prank, in France and other francophone countries, on "le premier avril", is to put a paper fish on someone's back without them knowing it! We had fun making paper fish and eating fishy snacks.
