Today is an EVEN Period Day – Periods 2.4.6.8

Special Announcement:

There may be some orange color in the water as a result of the work performed last night.  Every effort was made late last night to drain the discolored water from the system, but as you might imagine in a building this size there are thousands of feet of pipes.  LPS's plumbers assured us this morning that the water is safe for consumption.  The appearance of the water will return to normal soon. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
