[Edison-PTSA] EDISON ATHLETIC ALERTS–MARCH 14TH

EDISON ATHLETIC ALERTS

HOME OF THE COMETS

*************

 

 

• Basketball Camp for Spring Break: Martin Pazanin  Central girls basketball varsity coach. I would like to get a middle school camp going for area girls during Spring Break. The camp would be of no cost. The camp would be on March 18-21 from 10:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. at Central. If you could somehow pass this along to the coaches, or the parents/guardians/players, that would be great. I just ask that if they do plan on coming, that they contact me at pazanima@champaignschools.org or (224)627-2191 so that I am aware of numbers. I have attached the flyer, though they can also fill out the registration at Central. Thank you!

 

 

• Wrestling: Congratulations to two of our wrestlers who advanced to state which was held this past weekend in DeKalb.

 

 

 

• Forms: On the wall outside the cafteria there are fliers available for:

 

cheerleading camp at Central over spring break
