Mar 2020

Although we were 99% sure it was coming, we weren't officially told about the closure until 2:50 pm on Friday.

On Saturday morning, we received an email telling us we must come in on Monday, from 8-11 am, to "clean out our personal items"

They likened it to "cleaning out our classrooms for the summer break".

I don't think it'll be a two week leave.
