Tennis anyone?
Mark your calendar for the informational tennis meeting for girls in grades 9-12 (sorry 8th graders!) on Thursday, January 9th at 3:20 in the Johnston Middle School LMC. Uniform orders will be handed out on this date with a deadline. I am hoping to have clothing samples for you to try on as well. If you miss the meeting, you need to let me know so you can still order uniforms! Bring your iPad and cell phone to the meeting.
