Girls Youth Volleyball for grades 3rd-6th will be starting Tuesday, September 5th. Practices will be after school at the Primary. Grades 3/4 3:00-4:15, 5/6 will be 4:00-5:30. Travel volleyball will start September Wednesday, September 13th. Games start September 27. Permission slips and more information will be available at the open house.
I would like to invite all 6th-8th grade students to consider participating in Cross Country this fall. Participating in cross country is much more than just “running”! It’s about goal setting, physical exercise, being part of a team. Participating in cross country offers so much growth opportunities beyond running. Parents, you can assist by encouraging your student to give it a try. Please contact me or coach Darren Webb or Coach Chris Thomas to discuss.
