Coaches and Parents,

I think we have all done a pretty good job so far this basketball season treating the school facilities with respect.  Thank you all for your efforts!  Let's continue to make sure players and siblings do not play in the foyers or run the school hallways.  If you see some trash on the ground, please throw it away.  Let's do our part in keeping the restrooms clean.  It is important to leave the school in better shape when we leave than when we arrive.  It is up to us.

​Thanks!!
Jesse
