Basketball Uniform Return March 5th, 2012

As the St. Francis basketball season is coming to an end, it's time to prepare for uniform return. Please mark Monday, March 5th in your calendars as the day to have your child return his or her basketball uniform in the school gymnasium after school.

All 5th-8th grade basketball athletes must return their uniform. The only athletes allowed to keep their basketball uniforms are the 7th and 8th grade boys who will be participating in boy's volleyball this spring.

If your son or daughter does not return their jersey, you will be billed for the cost of their uniform.

We are also still looking for a few parent volunteers to assist in the uniform return process. If you are available to help on Monday, March 5th from 3:00-3:30pm, please contact Colleen Orth via e-mail at colleenorth@sfx-school.org

Thank you so much for your help!
