NEWS INTRO

On Wednesday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced another wave of regular season cancelations. Opening Day has been postponed until at least April 14, effectively canceling another two series for each team. Last week Manfred announced the first two series of the 2022 regular season had been canceled. Opening Day was originally scheduled for March 31.Due to this, Jackie Robinson Day could be in jeapordy. Perhaps part of the focus here should move toward Jackie Robinson Day. This is an event celebrated annually by Major League Baseball on the anniversary of Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947. April 15, 1947 was Opening Day that season and every year on that day, starting with the 2004 season, MLB has celebrated, more recently moving toward every player wearing Robinson's No. 42

Mark your calanders for Monday March 14th for Meet the Mounts at the Middle School gym.

Now back to the main desk

-----------------

The process of removing plexiglass from the cafeteria tables will begin soon. A portion of the plexiglass will be removed at first and then more will be removed in the coming days and weeks. This much anticipated change will require some adjustments, the first of which will be no more standing at tables in the cafeteria. All students in the cafeteria will be in a seat.

 

The seating capacity in the cafeteria will also increase without the plexiglass limitation, which will allow the lounge to return to a lounge and not be used during lunches. We will allow for some time for transition, but in the very near future there will be few if any students in the lounge area during lunches. The passes issued to upperclassmen to eat in the lounge will soon no longer be valid and will need to be disposed of. Students at the benches in the cross-corridor will also be significantly limited moving forward. The cross-corridor will remain permanently closed during A lunch
