The text of a memo recently issued at my old Toronto high school:

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2002 — DAY 2

Please post

School information

Hey Lawrence Students! If you’re interested in working with the Student Council to organize school activities, you can become a Grade Rep. Grade Rep applications are available outside the Student Council office on the billboard.

There will be a Golf Team meeting at the beginnings of periods G and H. Come at the beginning of your lunch to the north gym and see Mr. Gilbert for the first match line-up.

Hey LP’ers, do you know what next week is?!! IT’S SPIRIT WEEK!! Monday is PJ Day, Tuesday is Sport Day, Wednesday is Grade Color Day, Thursday is Hawaiian Day and Friday is Gold and Blue Day!! Keep your eye out for posters around the school!

This is a reminder to ALL students, meaning if you are enrolled at Lawrence Park, you are invited to a BBQ at lunch on Thursday. Attendance is mandatory.
