Hello Thunder Families
Just a friendly reminder of the sports season coming up on us and I want to remind you to get your paperwork in. Physicals, fees and the MPB Participation form for each athlete. Remember you are not able to participate until we have Physicals and Participation forms. I am looking forward to working and supporting you this year. If you have any questions please contact me at the school. Thanks
If you missed last night’s parent meeting, here is a quick summary of what we talked about.
3rd & 4th Grade
The biggest change this year is with our 3rd and 4th grade program. The focus will be on teaching the fundamentals of football. This team will only play two games this season. Those games are already scheduled and can be found in the SportsYou app. Their season will end after the second game.
5th & 6th Grade
The 5th and 6th grade team will have a normal season schedule. However, we are no longer playing in a league, so there will be no championship games this year.
Registration Update
Registration has been postponed to August 10 because of a scheduling conflict with Vacation Bible School.
Practice Update
The first practice will now be August 17 due to a game cancellation. Practice times will be announced closer to that date.
Fundraiser
We will be doing our annual fundraiser again this year. Our goal is to have everyone’s tickets distributed by the second week of practice. More information will be shared later.
Help Spread the Word
Please help spread the word that football is starting, especially to parents who do not use Facebook or the SportsYou app.

On the last day of school, we gathered to celebrate Cheryl and her retirement! 🎉
For years, Cheryl provided our students and staff with amazing meals, homemade favorites, and special treats that made lunchtime something to look forward to.
Thank you, Cheryl, for your dedication, hard work, and the care you put into every meal. We wish you all the best in retirement and will certainly miss you!
