Spring Athletic Recognition Night is moved from May 23rd to May 30th. We have All-Conference Meetings that our coaches must attend on May 23rd so that is why the date has changed to Tuesday May 30th at 6:30. Athletes should be bringing home invitations this week and we ask that they are returned by May 16th so that the Athletic Booster Club can have a count for desserts. We will recognize our high school softball, baseball and track teams as well as our junior high track and soccer teams. Please plan to join us on May 30th when doors open at 6:00 in Charles E. Mandley Memorial Gymnasium.
We will recognize our 8th grade track athletes and our 8th grade soccer athletes on Thursday May 11th at the home soccer game. We ask parents to arrive by 3:45 as we will recognize both sports just before the game begins at 4:00.
