The boys should have brought home a picture form and a new schedule. Also can you have them bring the bags they received from the 5k run.

Calling all JH Football parents! Please meet at the school this Thursday, 8/20, at 6:00 to go over some season information. We will group up right by where the boys are practicing.

This year we will be making the boys a "Football Hygiene Bag" for their football lockers. We have 30 players, so I am looking for donations of 30 for each of the following:

*Deodorant
*Body Spray
*Powder
*Sneaker Balls
*Small Hygiene Bag - Nothing Fancy - Drawstring Mesh Maybe?

Please give donations to Andrea Butsch. Once we have everything that we need, we will assemble and put in the boys athletic lockers after we sanitize the locker room.
