MS/HS FALL SPORTS PARENT MEETING

Monday, August 31 | 5:30-6:30pm | HS Gym

If you are playing a Fall sport (either Middle School or High School), please plan to be at the meeting. MVC asks that parents attend at least one Parent Meeting per year, but would encourage you to attend all of them at the start of each season if you have a child participating. This is a time for some vision casting by myself as Athletic Director and some time for the coaches to share about the season.
