GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
Now that football season is over one would think that the Friday update would include less sports. Well, that is not the case. With the warm weather we had today, I am reminded that the SportCenter in Shelton has heated stalls at the driving range, so why not grab the clubs and knock off the dust? Today may be the best weather overall on this long weekend but I’m sure many of you have a variety of plans for the holiday weekend. I hope everyone has a relaxing and safe weekend.
Please take a few minutes to review the below updates and reminders:
