We had a couple of breaks throughout but were able to finish the Spring session with lunch at Pappasito’s on June 20th. Unfortunately some students were stuck in traffic and could not make it so we had a very small group. Pappasito’s serves TexMex and we enjoyed our lunch.

Have a fun but safe Summer ya’ll!
