From Coach:

DON’T FORGET YOUR

SNEAKERS!

Please put your son or daughter in TENNIS SHOES

on the days they will be coming to Physical Education.

We prefer that students either wear rubber-soled

shoes (tennis or athletic shoes) or bring a pair to wear

                          during physical activity, this includes recess.

                          If your daughter chooses to wear a dress or skirt, please

                          Make sure she had a pair of shorts underneath on PE days.

J  THANK YOU!  J
