Weldon Valley School District RE-20J

Good Afternoon Warrior Family! I wanted to give everyone an update about the Junior High basketball games at Prairie this Thursday. First of all, thank you for your patience, we have been working to make sure we can pass the most up to date and accurate information about events to all of you. In this time, that is sometimes easier said than done. Here is the schedule for the games on Thursday. 4:30 pm- Boys B team. 5:30 pm-Boys A team. 6:30 pm-Girls A-Team. At this time, each player is allowed to have 2 fans attend the game. There will be a roster at to entrance door at Prairie, with two spots for each player, you will have to sign in next to your player. While not ideal, we are happy to be able to have some fans in attendance. You will only be able to watch the games in which your player is playing. Every fan must wear a mask throughout the games. If this becomes an issue you will be asked to leave the gym. Please help to make this a good event for the kids. Here is a link with all of the information that Prairie sent us. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-NhWjdx-_ecN6BatqLa1dCKTeaEQUU2M2iabaCnjNno/edit?usp=sharing Please email me at gedson@weldonvalley.org if you have any questions.

Mrs. Johnson wants to send a friendly reminder- this Wednesday is Wacky Wednesday! It's your chance to support your Weldon Valley Warriors, or any other team you love! Plus, what a fun day to sit back and enjoy some extra reading!
