  2. The hub bus from DHS will take students to Santa Rita-- leaving at usual time.
  3. Be sure to have all your costume and other supplies with you (i.e. don't leave anything at school Thursday and hope to get into the school building Friday morning)

  5. You'll get your yearbooks at the end of Olympics to sign.  Bring a sharpie for that.
