We count Indianola as a LOCAL travel site and hence our kids have to get themselves there. There is only a limited number of coach ride seats available!!! You must schedule a ride with a coach if that is your intention.
Two of our coaches will be arriving LATE and may not be able to give rides because of work
commitments. You must take care of this on Thursday!!! Don't just show up and expect a ride!!
Try to carpool either with students or parents who are driving.
We could use a parent judge in Student Congress on Saturday. This is a great slot for a NOVICE parent who hasn't judged. Call Strong 202-4078. This is not difficult judging at all.
