• From Coach Songy:  Elevator use is being abused.  Today is the the final warning you will receive regarding this.  A student with an elevator pass is allowed to use the elevator with only one other student who is assisting him with his materials.  Any student found to be using the elevator for any other purpose will be issued a 3-day PH.  Cameras will be monitored to ensure that this policy is not being abused.  Do not ruin this for others.
• Coach’s Comment:  Improving is a lot easier when you allow yourself to be critiqued.  Take instruction sincerely from your teachers.
