This league will meet every Wednesday for 8 Wednesdays, beginning June 20, at Grass Lake High School. Our goal is that girls are playing basketball all summer and not for just 4 days of a normal week-long camp.  With this set up you will get more for less even if you miss a Wednesday or two for going on vacation. Girls will be running through stations, half and full court drills, competing in different competitions, and playing games. This league is for girls going into 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grades for the 2012-2013 school year. Click here for more information and a registration form. Registration deadline is June 13.

As your child starts school at Grass Lake Middle School in September of 2012 your child will need to be up to date with all immunizations. We strongly urge you to check with your child’s physician to make sure they have all necessary immunizations before the start of the new school year in September.  A good guideline is to make an appointment after your child turns 11 as some immunizations can only be given after that birthday. For your information the Jackson County Health Department immunization hotline phone # is 517-788-4468. You may also visit their website at www.co.jackson.mi.us/hd . If you have any questions please call Middle School Secretary, Kim Brown directly at 522-5551 or email kbrown@grasslakeschools.com. Thank you in advance for your help in keeping our schools and kids healthy!
