GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
This weekend is a fifty-fifty outlook for weather. Saturday looks like the best day for outdoor activities as rain moves into the area Saturday night and into Sunday. The Yankees are doing well this April, yet are still 4 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays. Playing in the American League East is tough going. Speaking of tough going, being a Red Sox fan at the moment may be frustrating but it is a long season and the Sox have come back late in the summer before. As for the Met fans in our community, the team is hanging close to the Braves in the National League East. They are in need of pitching and after this week’s ejection of starter Max Sherzer, their young arms need to step up for a few weeks. For you football fans, there is less than a week until the 2024 Draft.
Please take a few minutes to review the below updates and reminders:
