High School Spirit Week began today with Squad Day. Students showed some creativity and spirit! Tomorrow is Black & Gold Day.
We are in need of line judges for tomorrow evening and also in need of two scoreboard operators, one scorebook keeper and a pass gate worker for Saturday's tournament as well as a line judge. If you are interested or know someone who might be interested please let me know or share my contact information. Pay is $12 per hour for the time worked and you will get to partake of some great items from Hospitality. Workers that have not worked for the district prior will need to submit employment paperwork to the district prior to working. If you have questions please contact me at greg.morgan@vfalls338.com.
