The First Two Weeks of October!

Hi Everyone,

 

We are so excited for the month of October!  Here is everything you need to know for the next two weeks!

 

10/6 – Away at New Manchester.  This is also a Digital Learning Day.  Students will need to make their way to the school at the conclusion of the school day.  Please plan to have them here by 4:00 PM.  We will eat / change / load and depart for New Manchester by 5:30 PM.  It is New Manchester’s Homecoming, so we are anticipating doing a Post-Game performance.  This will put us back to SPHS a little later than normal because it will take some time to load equipment at the conclusion of the game.  We anticipate being back to SPHS by 11:45.
