*IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE VOLLEYBALL GAMES TONIGHT* This morning, the main electrical feed to the high school was hit when they were digging some underground pipes. As a result, we will not have AC in the high school gym. We need to move the volleyball duel to the elementary school. The times will remain the same. JV starts at 5. Varsity starts at 6.
