Today's Announcements
Welcome to the kick off of the 2021 Homecoming week! Today we have the crew from 101 Dalmatians in the Elementary wing, and Toy Story in the High School. So many creative costumes today! Tomorrow you can roll out of bed and come as you are, it's pajama day!
The team came out with a lot of fire and passion in Wagner to get an early lead and held off a talented offensive team in the second half. As coaches, we saw a few areas that need improvement. We will address those areas this week in practice and continue to make gains.

The registration date for the 2022 Spring baseball season is fast approaching for grades 8-12. Based off last Spring's numbers, I'm not sure we will have enough for a team. I don't want to pay the $250 registration fee if we can't field a team. To know for sure, would each of you be able to put a sign-up sheet or just ask the kids to let you know if they are interested in playing? I would like to have the rough numbers by next Friday, September 24th if possible. Thank you for your assistance. A sign up sheet will be in the office for any interested students.
