“INTEGRITY”
Ensure Children’s Safety
As we once again begin basketball season,
we ask that you please supervise your young
children at basketball games. Please do not
allow them to run or wander freely by them-
selves. I am very thankful that we have a
safe environment for our students, but they
still need adult supervision. I appreciate
your cooperation and help.
