When is gym?

Thurs. 9:40  and on Friday 1:20  .Remember you may wear gym 
clothes under your 
uniform  or change for gym. (changing is the 
better option and you are allowed to bring a deodorant or small 
powder to 
freshen yourself)  Under the new trimester report cards being 
unprepared for 
gym repeatedly will lower your grade, it is no longer just 
pass/fail.
