FORAN WINS THE MICHAELS CUP AWARD!
The Cup was created in the early 1980s as the brainchild of Roy Michaels, the owner of Michaels Jewelry, in an effort to recognize outstanding athletic programs. In 2008 CIAC began direct oversight of the program. Then in 2017, the focus of The Cup transitioned to honoring schools for their commitment to sportsmanship.
The Michaels Cup honors exemplary athletics programs for their willingness to subscribe to the Class Act Sportsmanship standards, empowering students to take an active role in their school climate and their continued support for community service.
Thanksgiving Game Parking Information
As you know, we are expecting larger than usual attendance for the Foran-Law Thanksgiving football game at Jonathan Law. We have been informed that the Kmart plaza which has always been used for parking, will not be available this year. Therefore, we have decided to provide shuttle bus service from the Walnut Beach Parking Lot. Durham will be providing 4 or 5 buses that will begin shuttling at 8:30 am and run until all attendees are returned to Walnut Beach after the game.
