What a beautiful, busy day for Albany!

We started our day bright and early at Baertschi's cross country invitational. Then, we spent our afternoon at the SusieJamie Fundraiser.

It was great to see familiar and new faces today.

We'll see everyone again in 2 weeks for Trunk-or-Treat on the 23rd and Baertschi's cross country sectionals on the 24th.

When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. If a battery overheats or fails, it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly.

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.

Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire.

Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds, couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can cause a battery to overheat.

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or ones approved by the manufacturer.

Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
