Alwin, Anna,
Thanks for the edits to your activity, it’s reading a lot more polished. You already know you need a stable table and wind guard for Rutgers Day.

We are on early dismissal today. Tomorrow may be delayed opening or cancelled depending on what happens overnight. The storm looks like it could be a real problem for us Wednesday. The call will be made early tomorrow morning. I will contact you if we are not in session as planned.
