Uniform Turn In

All members of the Boys Cross-Country Team should turn their uniforms in on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 after school. You should have your uniform(s) in a bag with your name on it. Your numbers must match the numbers I have listed or you will be charge. Cost per uniform piece is $40.00. Those of you still needing to turn in the bright orange uniforms must do so at this time. Thank you for your help and cooperation.

Thank you for all of the families that volunteered to help out with the dinners. This is a special time of the year, made even better with your dedication and passion. Not only am I blessed with wonderful young men (not to mention great runners), but I also have the best parental support
known to the world of EHS athletics. Thanks!
