Good Morning West Side Elementary!
This is Amy Gentry and I wanted to remind you about our first pee wee basketball game and little dribbler performance this Saturday in the old gym.
Guy does not have a 4th grade girls team and will not have enough 5th grade girls to play this weekend. So the order and times are:
9:00 start will be 4th grade boys
around 9:45 will be 5th grade boys
(k-1) little dribblers will perform (make sure the little dribblers are there by 10:00)
around 10:30 will be the 6th grade girls following will be the (2nd and 3rd grade little dribblers- make sure they are there by 11)
and last will be the 6th grade boys around 11:15
Also parents, please make sure your child does not wear their uniform before or after the game unless they are wearing something that covers the uniform.
Thank you and GO EAGLES!!
