This Principal was disappointed he didn’t put forth more effort to check, […]

Through some advance planning, YHC put a feeling on Slack about the possibility of a President’s Day later start time of 0630, which actually was initiated in a post-Gremlin conversation with @Chowder (to which he clearly cannot recall). @Poutine and @Illuminati replied with an interest and there were no voiced objections. While there was an […]
