HELLOOO beautiful people :)) Good luck to anyone participating in APs this week and next!! Please remember to take time and give yourself MANY breaks! I know all of you are working extra hard and focusing on your academics, so please remember to not work yourself too hard <3 Additionally, if you have any conflicts with APs and tech we understand fully! So the mandatory tech for crucible is MUCH more lenient due to the chaos of APs. Lastly, don't forget you all are such brilliant and beautiful people. No matter how you feel this week, you are strong and are capable of amazing things!! Love you all :)
ALSO! For senior one acts, your senior directors have a master doc with their slot availabilities for rehearsing. They will deal with rehearsal schedules separately, that will not be posted on officer blog/google classroom. Your director will tell you themselves when/where you rehearse.
