Hello parents, I will be updating this post as details arise.

Parking- There is a small lot adjacent to the church, and additional meter spots available along Michigan Ave. There is also a lot behind the church accessible by Wabash. The church is only a block south of our school, so you can park where you normally do and walk to the church if you like.
