MS/US Assembly Seating Plan

Hello Grade 6-12 Superstars,

Please review the attached “normal” seating plan by Advisory for our Friday assembly.

Here is a limerick to remind you of correct assembly etiquette:

There once was a kid from Xian Lin,

Who did not want to be late again

He set his alarm, which was great…

Was seated in the PAC before eight…

And stayed off his phone, for he knew that was a sin.

See you tomorrow!
