Today is Monday, April 10, 2017.

The baseball program is running a Stand Up to Cancer fundraiser to help 3 local families pay for part of their cancer treatments. You can purchase a Stand Up to Cancer card for $3 to represent someone you know whom has been effected by cancer, or you can simply donate to the cause. See Coach Light or Coach Wisneski during lunch to buy a card or make a donation. If we raise $3,000 then Coach Wisneski will shave his head during lunch one afternoon in the courtyard.
