I’m sure you’ve all heard by now, but just in case you haven’t – school is closed tomorrow, Thursday 2/8. The administration decided to close the school “due to the highly anticipated absentee rate because of the Super Bowl parade.” Therefore, all athletic events and practices are cancelled tomorrow.
We’re also giving the kids off on Friday. So, enjoy the time off! If you’re headed to Philly for the parade, have fun and be safe.
One more thing, the middle school jamboree that was originally scheduled for Sunday has been cancelled as well. The tot tournament this Saturday is still a go! So, we’ll see all the little tykes this weekend. Everyone else, see you on Monday!

We wanted to take a moment to congratulate all of our wrestlers who participated in this weekend’s tournament and Middle School dual matches at Eastern.
There were many impressive bouts, and it’s obvious that we’re improving every week. We still have a lot to work on, though. But, great wrestlers aren’t just born that way – they’re made through consistent practice, training, and dedication. So, let’s keep up the good work!
