SJO Parents and Athletes,
We hope everyone is having a great summer! In the past, we have hosted an all athletic parent meeting on the second Monday evening in August. We are not going to have that meeting this year, but on that same date, we have scheduled an All Athletic Fundraiser Packet drive thru in the commons parking lot from 5:00-7:00 PM on Monday, August 10th. Any SJO parent or athlete can drive through the Commons parking lot, and we will then hand you the fundraiser packets at that time, which means you do not even have to get out of your cars. We are excited to see everyone on Monday, August 10th in between 5:00-7:00 PM!
Thanks everyone! If you have any questions, please email Justin Franzen at franzenj@sjo.k12.il.us.
