Are YOU ready for some football?
On Wednesday, November 22th the fifth grade students will play the faculty in our first annual flag football (Turkey Bowl) game on Thalia’s PE Fields. There will be referees, music, announcers, cheerleaders and a halftime show. The game will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. The gates will open at 8:30 AM, followed by player introductions and an opening ceremony. The game will last approximately one hour. We invite all parents and friends to join us for this fun event.
We need help from parents to monitor the classes for those teachers that are playing. You might want to send in a blanket to sit on. Hope to see you at the game!
