Second Annual Rotary Interact Club Dodgeball Tournament
Tuesday, 10/16 starting at 12:45 p.m. in the SPA Gym
Mark your calendars for the Second Annual Rotary Interact Club Dodgeball Tournament to be held Homecoming Week on Tuesday, 10/16 starting at 12:45 p.m. in the SPA gym. Eight middle school teams of five players and eight high school teams of five players will compete for first place distinction in each category. The cost is $10 per player ($50 total) and proceeds will be donated to Gigi's Playhouse, a Down's Syndrome Achievement Center where several Great Hearts students volunteer their time and talent. Students must select a team captain, pick a creative team name and sign up to pay the $50 donation on the
SPA payment portal. Last year, the Gucci Gang took first place at the Middle School level and we hope to see them return to defend their title! Pre-Registration tables will be set up on Tuesday & Thursdays during lunch periods, but payment must be made on-line.
