X-Block Project Changes
Hello X-Blockers
Next Tuesday is a really good opportunity to finalise your last X-Block project for the year.
Thursday, April 22 (two weeks after Spring Break) will be the last date to change your project or location. No changes will happen after this date.
As of next Tuesday, the kitchen will be ready for 6 new cooks and the music room has space for a few more musicians or people that don’t need any special equipment. Please email Mr Synder if you would like to cook.
Happy choosing.
