Sports and Activities
I’m sitting here looking at an empty sports calendar, though I do know we have some championships, finals, etc. For example, boys and girls will both be competing in the D2 tennis tournament. So, as information comes to me I’ll pass it along to you!
That’s all I have for you at the moment. I hope you have the loveliest day tomorrow, and I’ll see you on Tuesday!
