Athletics
We are looking at doing 5th and 6th spring volleyball again this year.  Forms are going home with the girls in grade 5 and 6 today.  Please return the forms ASAP so I know how much interest we have.  I am in the process of scheduling a few games and need to know how many we will be able to play.  I will be adding your phone numbers to a remind list to keep parents posted on any changes.  I am also work on getting a practice schedule out but it will depend on the gym space.  I will get put it in the announcement as soon as it gets done.  The season will run for about for 4-6 weeks.  If you have questions please contact me at dayna.rodriguez@k12.sd.us.

Spring will hopefully be arriving soon which means we have baseball and softball on the mind. If your child is interested in playing baseball or softball this spring please fill out the intent to play form and return it to the school by Friday, February 28th.
