Junior class painted p morning crew ..
Morning crew... We may have to find an evening to get together. We cannot paint on top of wet concrete (soaked concrete) I drove around town and it's def soaked, because as it dries it would cause the paint to discolor and likely flake due to moisture.
So, we don't want to do all of that work only to have to redo it later, plus people paid for this product.
So as hard as this is, morning crew will have to reschedule.
Afternoon crew I will wait and see what it looks like by about 1130 and then email out about second crew if we are working. We only have two sets of stencils so can't push it more than that. Anyone from first crew is welcome to join second crew, but we still may need to do another night.
Cross Country Practice Schedule!
The van/bus will leave from Ethan to get to Parkston or Parkston to get to Ethan 20 minutes before practice times. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact Jared Digmann at jared.digmann@k12.sd.us.
