PICK-UP TIME
Games are typically finished around 6:30.  We send a remind message in the last quarter to let you know when to pick-up.  But…. STAY and watch the kids play!  We play a lot of music and have a great time!

TRANSPORTATION
Students are required to go home and come back for the 4:30 pm report time.  Many students will arrange to go home with a friend that has a parent available to drive them back for 4:30 pm.  As always, CONTACT ME If you are having trouble getting transportation sorted out and I will help you find a solution!

DONATIONS OF SNACKS & WATER
We appreciate any donations of individually portioned chips, cookies, etc. to have as a snack for the students during half time.  We are also in need of bottled water donations.  Mrs. Lafleur has volunteered to contact Ralph's to ask for donations of bottled water.

VOLUNTEERS NEED
Volunteers to hand out water, monitor students during break, etc.

AFTERSCHOOL REHEARSALS
The 7th graders are allowed to play at the September games but ONLY if they attend after school rehearsals.  These rehearsals are open to 8th graders as well.  In fact, 8th grade are strongly encouraged to attend in order to help the 7th graders learn the football music.
