The clinic will run on November 5, 7, 12, and 14 from 3:30-5:00 PM in the Church Undercroft, offering an introduction to the basics of wrestling, fun games, and live-action scenarios.

Interest Day

Interest Day is a special school day where students attend different hands-on classes in a variety of areas.  In the past, we have offered cooking, crafts, woods, sports and music classes, just to name a few.  This school year, our Interest Day will be held on the morning of Friday, March 7.  We are always looking for any new ideas for classes.  We also need volunteers to lead a session.  If you have any ideas, or you or someone you know would like to lead a class, please contact one of our committee members:
