Calling all bi-lingual 7th and 8th graders!

And a reminder for all competitive athletes — You MUST have a current physical on file to participate in after-school athletics. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE. For more information about getting a physical, see your coach, the school nurse, or the Activities coordinator — Ms. Hogwood.

It’s that time of year again — pumpkin Lattes… and FRISBEE. That’s right, the Boys Ultimate Frisbee season is about to begin. The first practice is scheduled for next MONDAY, right after school in the main gym. And games against other APS schools will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Boys of all skill-levels and experience are welcome to join, and no physical is required. The Williamsburg Frisbee team has been competing for over a decade, and FIVE former players have gone on to the US National Team! Come be a part of a great tradition. See Mr. Smolinski with any questions. And for all you female athletes, the girls Frisbee season will start in October.
