If you had belongings that were left in the US hallways, they have all been moved to Lost and Found. We found clothing, notebooks, novels, drink cups and so much more. As a reminder you should be throwing away or taking home all food containers. Biology experiments should be happening inside of classrooms not in our hallways.
