JO VB meeting Sunday February 26 Woonsocket Commons for girls grades 5-10 at 4:00

ATTENTON BASKETBALL PLAYERS Boys and Girls Grades 1-12 – The following opportunity is available for our students to take advantage of should they want to: I have attached the flyer for Spring Workouts that will be taking place in Mt. Vernon starting this Sunday. If any of your kids/parents from your town have attended one of my workouts before I hope they pass on their thoughts. The feedback we received from our last time in Mt. Vernon was great so we are doing these workouts near you so you do not have to drive to Sioux Falls to participate in something like this. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

We have about 10 spots left in each group. It appears you must be pre-registered!  We are really big on competing, so the more players that attend the more we can compete. It is also good to compete with kids outside your school. Please pass this on to any of your athletes that have an interest in basketball.

FFA
FFA membership dues are $20 for this year.  The motion was passed by a majority vote of members.  Please bring your payment in to Mr. Gross.  Dues and any other money owed to the FFA must be turned before being able to attend Spring CDEs.  The first event is on March 3rd

The Bob Redder FFA Scholarship must be postmarked by Wednesday, March 1st.
