There will be a Sterling HS Softball Parent Meeting Friday after practice at 6:00 pm in the South Gym.

We are getting ready for our spring activities and are needing help in running off field events at our track meets. We host a JH track meet on April 10th at 4:00 pm and a HS track meet on April 24th at 3:00 pm. If you would like to be an event judge and run an event or be an event helper please let me know. It takes a village to run a track meet and we could use all the help we can get! 😀 If you would like to help you can email me at: fussj@usd376.com
Thanks for considering!
