“Thanks” just isn’t enough to convey our gratitude to our Home and School Association for the amazing auction and dinner that they held this past week. “Back to the 90s” was one of the most successful auctions in the history of our school! This event happened only because of the incredible leadership of our President, Tracie Hill, our Vice President, Kim Cimbalo, and our Acquisitions Chair, Meggie Carrier and Sponsorship Chair, Laura Hehn. There are so many more ladies to name that were integral in the success of this event! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Junior Tennis League: St. Louis has six boys & girls who have signed up for an indoor middle school tennis league at Leftwich, and we need at least two more student athletes to form the team. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders who can serve and rally, we need you! This is entry-level competition, so anyone who can hit the ball is welcome to join. Play will be both singles and doubles on Friday evenings, 5:30-7pm, starting January 26 and ending March 1. The fee is $90/player. This is a lot of fun and is a great way to keep those skills sharp in the off-season! Contact SLS tennis coach Steve Denegri (steve@denegri.net or 901-219-4591) for more info or to register.
