Students will be transported via school bus to and from The Plaza. Basketball Sign Ups K-6 HYDE PARK STUDENTS With Soccer season winding down, it is time to start thinking about winter basketball. Due to our unusual circumstances, we will have a slightly different look this year. First, we have the Middle School gym all day Sundays! This means we will have time to run our K-1-2 program this year in addition to our regular 3-6 boys’ and girls’ teams. Each group will get a two-hour slot to work within regardless of one or two teams per level. This means we will have approx. the same amount of practice time per week as usual. However, we will NOT have a home game schedule. This will limit our amount of games in some ways, but we will look to pick up additional away games to even things out. The goal is always around 10 games for 3-6 not including tournaments. Please contact Shawn Clough via email for more information – sclough@hpes.org. There will be sheets at each school location for the students to sign up followed by an early November player/parent/coach meeting. More info on meeting to follow. From The Nurse Winter Coat Drive - October pick up The coat donations have been collected and cleaned by DeNoia’s dry cleaning and the Morrisville Rotary will be getting them ready for anyone in need. The coats will be available for pick up on Saturday October 21st and 28th from 10am to 2pm and also on Sunday, October 22nd from noon to 3pm.
