Mandatory Meetings for All High School Athletes TONIGHT, Monday, June 3
On June 3 at 6 p.m., Deering High School and Portland High School will hold mandatory meetings in their auditoriums for all students who will be playing a sport at their schools during any season of the next school year – fall, winter and spring. Student-athletes must attend, and their parents also are encouraged to attend.
The meetings will explain changes to the eligibility standards for playing high school sports. Information also will be available about summer programs and students will be able to meet the coaches.
The meetings cover all sports, including soccer, football, field hockey, golf, cross-country skiing, cheering, basketball, ice hockey, sailing, downhill skiing, wrestling, swimming and diving, track, baseball, softball, lacrosse and tennis.
Topics to be covered:
* New changes to eligibility standards
*Information on Summer and Pre-Season programs
*Meet the coaches
Annual Appeal Update
Don’t forget to share PAG’s latest fundraising brochure with family and friends – like grandparents, aunts and uncles, neighbors or colleagues – people you think would like to support our students and our Expeditionary Learning program. All contributions are confidential and tax-deductible through the PAG 501©3. 100 percent of the funds raised go to support CBHS programming. Thanks to Susan Webster, Deb Paley and all of the other parents who worked on putting this together.
Project Grad Update
The suggested donation to help cover costs of the overnight celebration is $20.00 per family, or $5.00 for those receiving free or reduced lunch. We would like all seniors to attend, and if a contribution is a hardship on your family at this time, please send your student regardless! If your family is able to contribute more than $20.00 to help cover costs for another family, that would be fantastic.
We could also use donations of desserts for that evening, and any help from junior parents to help with setting up and breaking down at Merrill Auditorium as well as the Project Graduation (secret) site.
