We are looking a the feasibility of intramural sports and clubs and activities. Please remember we always have after school support.

Mr. Falzone, the wrestling coach will be reaching out to all those athletes who expressed interest
- We are still sorting out basketball and field hockey. If you expressed interest, Mrs. Keane our school nurse is verifying physicals and reaching out to you to make sure your child gets the proper paperwork in.
