<div dir="auto">Amy,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The only kid friendly workshop stated as such is the one about Birds as connectors. I checked with Emilia Areallano she stated no. No one will turn kids away if accompanied by an adult, but there are no child-centered presentations.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Parking is free. Why do you need to get in touch with anyone? The entrance is on Jackson. But just call the office on Monday if this doesn't answer your question. Call me if you need. I can email the assistant principal on Sunday, he usually responds readily.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Angela has said repeatedly that there is a box lunch. Call me tomorrow for more explanation. I will call her Sunday if you don't want to. I keep saying we can be better than this. You shouldn't have to search for any information at this point.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">There will be no lockers available.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Hope this helps. So sorry you're still sorting through this. I did cover parking earlier. It may be hard to find bits and pieces of information. Next year we should have a form for this stuff to be ticked off no later than one week following acceptance of presentations. It would be much more helpful than that "conference task list" which doesn't supply any of this information just sorts which committees are involved. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Lorraine</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 8, 2020, 10:57 PM Amy Olson <<a href="mailto:akeo@me.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">akeo@me.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Hi JW and Lorraine,<div><br></div><div>I was able to update the workshop and some other info on the conference start page.
