SPORTS BOOSTER NEWS FROM KRISTI WRIGHT
* Supervisors for home games this year will be
Mr. Lawrence, Miss Arbogast, Miss Misiak, and
Mrs. Legner. Please let your children know so
they are aware and respectful at all times.
* Remember all SMS students are FREE, but only
students in grades 5-8 are allowed at games
without adult supervision. Last night several
younger siblings were asked to quit running and
to stay out of the Kindergarten hallway. We all
understand this is not easy, but need the kids to
stay in the gym ( especially the little ones).
Thank you for cooperating and keeping
everyone safe too.
* Our Fall Sports Banquet is Tuesday, October
14th @5:30 in the Parish Hall. All Softball,
Baseball, Golf and Cross Country athletes and
their families are invited. Please see the sign up
genius to sign up your food donation and email
or text Kristi 815-674-0812 by Saturday, Oct.
11th with your families dinner order (burger/hot
dog). If we do not hear from you by Saturday,
we will not have enough meat because we are
purchasing this weekend. THANK YOU!!!!!
* Good luck to all Cross Country Runners in their
Sectionals meet on Saturday!
