TES Families,
We will hold the Guardian Run on Friday, Sept. 25th, no matter what. We have alternate plans created and are keeping a close eye on the weather to determine which plan we will use. We will make a decision and communicate with all families later in the day on Thursday. Again we will hold the PTO Guardian Run on Friday, Sept. 25th.
