Dear Athletic Families,

Spring sports are almost here — our first official day is Monday, February 23!

I hope you’ve enjoyed the snow (at least a little) and that everyone has managed to dig out and get back into a good rhythm.

Now, our eyes are on warmer spring days and the exciting season ahead. As we navigate melting snow and work to safely get teams back outside for practices, we ask for your grace, patience, and flexibility.

We’ll communicate updates as we go, and we appreciate your support as we work together to make it a great start to the spring season.

Leah Conte, Director of Student Activities
