Attention WEST Community, We incorrectly communicated the time of the recent Covid exposure. There was a change to last Saturday’s schedule and Embark Group practiced with Explore Group 10-11am.

Embark Group is quarantined until Saturday 1/15. They may participate in the meet, unless they test positive or are showing symptoms. Explore Group is quarantined until Saturday 1/15. They may participate in the meet, unless they test positive...
