On May 16th, the Football and Cheer teams will begin their Snap App online donation drive to help raise money for the September 8th trip to Portland, Oregon to take part in Year Two of our series vs. La Salle High School. Please be on the lookout for that as you can help our student/athletes offset their cost for the trip. PARENTS, the football and cheer team were given a letter last week breaking down how the fundraising for the trip is planned. If your child did not bring home that letter, please ask them for it. Any further questions you can contact Athletic Director Adam Hazel, 831-724-5933 x 207 or email at [email protected].
On Thursday May 18th, St. Francis will be hosting Physicals in the Borina Athletic Center. The night is mutually beneficial as the cost per kid is only $25 and proceeds from the event go to raise money for St. Francis Athletic Training. The event is open to the community--it is not just for St. Francis students. Please see the link below to have the Physical Form. The parent section of the form MUST be filled out prior to the student/athlete getting a physical.
