Football Concessions Volunteers

On 9/9 we will be helping sell concessions during the home varsity football game. If you are willing to help that evening please visit: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0D4DADA72EA7F94-wyoming1. Also, if you have questions you can contact Anne Madden: amadden2@cinci.rr.com. The money raised by the Athletic Boosters provides a significant portion of our athletic budget and we are incredibly grateful to anyone who is willing to volunteer that evening.

Clark 2 Mile -- 8/23

The Clark Montessori 2 Mile Race is Tuesday evening at Withrow High School. Runners should be at the school ready for bus pick up at 4:45. The girls race begins at 7 followed by the boys race at 7:30. If you are attending the race it is easiest to enter the parking lot behind Withrow off Dana Ave., near the I-71 exit. The race uses a unique scoring system with the top 3 girls times and top 3 boys times for each school combined in determining the winner. We hope you can come support the team as we look forward to a great start to the season!
