This is a reminder that athletic physicals will be conducted tomorrow in the gym beginning at 8:30 am for incoming 7th, 9th, 11th grade athletes as well as those who did not participate in athletics last year. Athletes, please bring the physical examination form with you filled out in the proper sections. This form can be found in a black container in the bench next to the front high school entrance. Next, there will be no boys' basketball workout sessions scheduled for this week due to a scheduling conflict. And finally, temperatures are forecasts to be in the high 90s this week.
