Any 7th or 8th graders wishing to try out must have a signed intramural form and a complete, valid physical form signed by a doctor on file with the school. Good luck to all students trying out!

Our school fundraiser products should arrive early this week. Once they arrive, we will have students bring them home.  We will send out notification to all students and families once the products arrive.  The fundraiser Glow Party and BMX Bike Show will take place this week for students who qualified.  Homebase teachers are reviewing the event list with students.
