Several attendees have expressed concern about the wildfires happening in the southern Colorado area. The largest fire in the area of the Summer School site is about 25 miles away and posses no threat at this time to the school. Be assured that Summer School will still be held as planned, but that attendees should take appropriate precautions since the air quality due to the fire is poor in some areas of Colorado Springs. This means that attendees with Asthma should bring inhalers, attendees with allergies or sensitivities should bring appropriate medications and reduce outdoor exposure.
