TODAY'S PRACTICE

Busy week!

Now that we've had a chance to catch our breath. GREAT job this week girls! It started out rough but you were able to collect yourselves and finish the week strong. You hav truly earned your 6-1 record, and deserve all the recognition that comes your way! 

Now some housekeeping. TOMORROW the Yankee candle fundraiser is due. Make sure you bring your envelopes and money in!

I had a chance to go to Canvas Mixers last night so again those of you that are unsure of what it is here is a glimpse 

Everyone starts with a blank canvas and the instructor teaches you step by step how to paint it. You start with the background first.

After each step you end up with your own personal painting. No art experience is needed! (I hadn't taken an art class since middle school!)

We are going to bump the price down for the student paint night to $30. And the adult paint will stay $40. It is such a fun night, I promise you all will enjoy it!

Lastly, I was given this flyer for a FH clinic

It takes place on Sunday in Dallas, PA. I'm not sure if it's for high schoolers only, you can probably find more information through KaPow Field Hockey. 

I hope everyone is enjoying a restful weekend and getting ready for another competitive week!

National Field Hockey day

Tomorrow is national field hockey day! How fitting that we celebrate it with a win today and another (hopeful!) win tomorrow! 

GREAT job today to the varsity and JV on their dominating wins over Pennsauken! And good fight to the freshmen on their 1-0 loss. The coaches are proud of all of you and enjoy seeing you all grow and bond as a team. Keep up the good work and GO GET EM HOUNDS!!!!
