Merry Christmas and New 2 You
In the past we have done a fundraiser at New 2 You in October and have raised $1000 for the team fund. This year we have reserved the month of May 2014. Mark Swets is going to organize a schedule for May if you can email him at mswets@yahoo.com and he will start putting a schedule together. We need at least one male per session and it will be on every Friday during the month of May from 4-7pm. Thank you in advance for volunteering!

New attendance policy
"The high school adopted a new policy in regards to attendance last spring for this school year. The change is that students must now be in attendance the entire day for them to be eligible to participate in practice or a game that day. The same excused absences apply- funeral, wedding, college visit, doctor visit. This change is prompted by our change in schedule- missing a class (particularly an 80 minute) on a given day can mean almost half of the instructional time for that week is missed. The old policy stated they had to be in attendance the last four hours of the day.
Jack Buter, as ever, will work to keep us apprised of athletes who may be in violation so we can address it.
Thanks for your support of the academic rigor of the HS."
