Students who would like to serve detention from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm today (after the May Day program) may do so by bringing comfortable work clothes, packing a lunch, and arranging for transportation when detention hours are completed.  Students who would like to take advantage of this opportunity need to see Mr. Chow sometime during the day and let him know that you’d like to get some detention hours completed.   After the May Day program is over, simply report to the MS office to begin serving your hours.
