Hello Fronteras Families! The most wonderful time of year is rapidly approaching and you know I'm talking about middle school wrestling season! Practice starts Monday, Jan 9 (2:45-4:30pm, M-F). Now is the perfect time to make sure your 6th-8th grade wrestler has a valid sports physical and gear that fits: shoes, headgear, mouthguard (mandatory for wrestlers with braces).

Want to help support Fronteras wrestling, on or off the mat? Email me at amber.menashe@matsuk12.us and let's provide these hard working kiddos with another amazing season.
