If Mrs. Persch is unavailable to meet with you at the moment you stop by her office, fill out a green form on her table and slide it under her door. She will find you and help as soon as possible!

Look for “Mrs. Persch’s Lunch Sign Up” on her bulletin board. You can sign up with three of your friends and bring your lunch down to her office. Make sure to get a pass from her!
