      2. Process would be the same. Would need to make sure we’re not interrupting summer schedules for grounds work, other maintenance work.
      3. Summer 2023 might be too soon. Possibly look at this for summer 2024.
      4. Would the bigger thrill be doing something at the high school? Would this maybe draw kids from all over the district? (Lindsey)
