Grant Football Families,
We are excited to be back at school and getting the kids back into the building! We know getting kids back into their daily routines and engagement is critical. Returning to school may be hard for some after the unexpected break, but It is very important that players are checking in with teachers and refocusing to finish the term strong.
Due to the timing of the strike we have had to postpone the regular end of the year process. Now that we are back it is crucial that we "put the season to bed" as soon as possible. This means we need to start the process of gear check in and locker room clean up. This also includes holding an end of the season meeting. During the meeting players will get more information about gear and locker room check in. We will also have the end of the season voting for team recognitions and awards (food provided). This meeting will take place on Wednesday 11/29 during lunch in the south forum. The end of the season banquet will also take place on December 9th in the upper commons (more information below).
I have also sent out this information to all of the student athletes through our team communication platform.
Go Generals!
Coach Melson
