HOME BASKETBALL GAME PROCEDURES

In response to Covid, the middle school principals in our division have decided to limit attendance to home basketball games to students with a responsible adult. Students must leave campus at dismissal and return for the game with a parent or adult who will stay and supervise the student. All attendees are expected to wear a mask for the duration of the game.

AG Girls Lacrosse will take place from mid-February to late April. Practices will be at The Pit off of Runnymeade between Selwyn Elementary and AGMS at 5pm. We will have two 'tryout' sessions to determine which team girls will play on. Both beginners and more experienced players are welcome, as we typically field two teams. There will be no "cuts" and all skill levels are welcome. Please visit the website HERE for registration or email aglblax@gmail.com. We look forward to welcoming some new faces to the Lady Bulldogs this season!
