ALL PARENTS AND VOLUNTEERS-

As a reminder the Diocese of Richmond Office of Safe Environment requires all
volunteers working with children at our school to be compliant in VIRTUS training.
Background checks must now be completed ANNUALLY. This is a recent change.
Please take the time over the summer to log-in to your VIRTUS account and check
the status of your background check and required training. Save time by being
proactive now and updating your status to ‘compliant’ so that when duty calls,
you are ready to go!

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! 

Inviting all rising 6th , 7th and 8th graders to come and join the DEFENDING ETIS
SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM this coming season.  We will be playing in the ETIS
against other middle school teams in the area. Currently, we have 12 games scheduled
for the season with possibly more to come.
IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR! The games will be exciting, fun and will keep
you in great shape for all sports that coming up in the winter and spring seasons.
We are planning to have a team that is competitive and are welcoming new and
experienced players to register for the team.

We are still seeking a coaching staff for this upcoming season. If you’d be
interested in coaching the team in any manner, please email Mr. Michael Fencil
at [email protected]. Registration will be sent out in future Friday Flashes this summer.

If you have any questions, feel free to email Mr. Fencil.

One Click and Done!

Skip the store chaos and check school supplies off your back-to-school list
with 1st Day School Supplies! Every item is top-quality and pulled straight
from your child’s classroom list—no guessing, no scavenger hunts, and no
standing in line debating folder colors.

PLUS: PTG delivers your child’s supply box right to their homeroom
before the first day of school. Easy, breezy, school-year squeezy.

FINAL deadline is July 8th! (Yes, for real this time—we’ve extended it
twice, and even PTG’s patience has limits.)

BONUS: Every child with an order gets entered to win a PTG Dress Down
Pass! (Cue the excited cheers and uniform-free dreams!)

Order now and start the school year like the rockstar parent you are!
