Orange Day

Happy Birthday Samantha Dean and Devin Garrett!

Results from The Hanson JHB Tournament:  JH Boys finished in sixth place.  They lost to Hanson 15-34, defeated MVP 39-33, and lost to Ethan 33-43.  Congratulations to Tater Moody for winning the free throw competition after making 20 out of 25 free throws.  

Get your first look at the Blackhawk boys basketball team tonight at 6pm in Woonsocket.  We will be hosting an intrasquad scrimmage for the high school players.  We are asking for snack donations which will be used by team on the bus rides to practices.  We have some hungry boys after school!  Some popular items in the past have been crackers, cookies, jerky, granola bars, etc.  Thanks for your support!  Go Blackhawks!

Girls Practice at SC today.

There is no practice tonight for JH Boys Basketball.

3^rd & 4^th basketball will practice at Woonsocket today after school.  You will meet in the Commons after school.  Make sure that you take all of your stuff as you won’t be coming back in the building.  They say practice will get over about 5:00 in Woonsocket and you will be returning to Sanborn Central.
