The banners will be moved to the cafeteria, but librarian Keri Burns said she enjoyed the school spirit they brought to the library. “For visitors and non-students, [the banners] are just a nice glimpse to get a little piece of what it was like at that time or what was important to them,” Burns said. “It's like a little visual time capsule.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/banners.jpg)
