Spring Youth Sports Sign-Up is Underway

Recreational softball, baseball and soccer registration is open now for K-12 students.  View the registration flyer for details.

Surely spring will come and we'll be ready to be outside!

Who's ready to think school supplies?

If you like to plan ahead or just don't want to hassle with going out and purchasing school supplies, Lucas will once again be using School Kidz service to order pre-packaged supply kits.  Details are available here.

This is a completely optional service!  Contact Brooke at brookemhill@gmail.com with questions.
