Updates & Reminders – Summer School 2012
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.
A few other reminders:
All children, Junior Youth & Youth who are attending without their parents: Make sure to download all the required forms and have your parent/guardian sign (and bring them with you to the school!).
Those with special dietary needs or coming with infants/toddlers: The main hall does have refrigerator and you may be able to store milk, medication, etc. as needed. Please make sure items are well marked with your family name and be considerate of the limited space.
