Do you have friends at Napa High or Vintage? If you do remember that you are NOT allowed on their campuses (unless you have a class at that time). If you are found at another campus during the school day you are subject to discipline and a fun ride in the back of the police car back to school. Don’t do it!

Joke o’ the Day

Two pints of milk were walking down the street in the rich side of town. A yogurt cup steps out of a society club, hops into his luxury car and speeds off. The wife milk turns to her husband and says, “Oh let’s be fancy for once in our lives and join that club!”
“Nah,” the husband replied “It’s too high culture for us.”
