No, Bob doesn’t know yet if there will be school on Monday. But Bob DOES KNOW you can help support CAT South students going to state, regional, and national competitions through the purchase of “Keep Calm” apparel. All of the proceeds help CAT South students. You can place orders at https://www.catsouth.org/schoolstore. As for Monday, we’ll all just have to stay tuned. Bob will let you know when he knows. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily #KeepCalmBobWillCall #PleaseBob
