Important: Practice at EHS this week will coincide with the materials pickup. When coming to practice, you must enter from Greyhound Drive off of Superior Street and exit on 40th Ave. E. There is no parking on Greyhound Drive. The east end of the parking lot closest to 40th Ave. E. is the only place where parking is allowed. Parents could also drop kids off in the teacher lot on 40th Ave. E. and they could walk over to the baseball field. It is going to be busy so give yourself a few extra minutes so you are at practice on time.
