Volunteer Coaches Needed -- Soon!!

This was posted to the e-mail group by Dr. Mahaffy, and I'm posting it to the blog as well to help get the word out:

"We are dangerously close (August 24th) to canceling the boys soccer and girls 6/7 basketball season due to not having a coach. We need to keep our kids active and it helps create a sense of school spirit when our students are engaged in conference activities. We also need volunteers to keep the scorebook and run the clock at basketball and volleyball games this year. This could be done by a reliable high school student also that would like to give a little back to our school."

This is something that the people of Fox River Grove can do for the schools to make a direct, positive impact on the students and the community. It doesn't require any additional tax funds. All it requires is your time. You can help the students keep their activities, and you can help you and your neighbors keep their taxes from going up by donating some time to coach, assist, run a scoreboard, or help out in a number of different ways. I urge you to consider helping with at least one activity, if you can at all. Please contact Dr. Mahaffy at mahaffyt@dist3.org or (847) 462-2324 to volunteer or to get more information.
