One Week Left

I'm looking forward to next week's conference. Again, if you've missed the preregistration and want to join, you are welcome, but you won't get the resource packet or lunch. Speaking of lunch, if you're not one for surprises, our lunch on March 3 will come from Sticks Kebab Shop in Charlottesville. On the menu we have chicken, steak, or pork skewers, sides of basamati rice, hummus and pita bread, basamati rice, house salad, and grilled veggie salad.

Conference attendees should park in spaces assigned for staff parking, not visitor parking (these spaces are limited and reserved for short-term guests), but, please do not park in any numbered space as these are reserved. Enter through the main entrance of the school and the Forum is directly in front of the entrance.

The phone number for Monticello High School is (434)244-3100 if you have any problems the morning of the conference.
