St. Louis USTA Junior Team Tennis– If your child is in grades 5-8 and is interested in joining a co-ed tennis team of St. Louis kids for a Fall USTA League, please email SLS Tennis Coach Steve Denegri (steve@denegri.net) for details & to register. The season will run on Saturdays from October 21 – December 4. Matches will be short sets to 4 games in both singles and doubles, so the max time each Saturday is one hour. Youth must be able to serve the ball and keep score in order to be on the team. Competition is beginner-level. This is a fun way to get acquainted with a sport that lasts a lifetime!

Reminders

Thank you for helping us with carpool! If you do not have a student in Preschool (PK or JK), please do NOT get into our carpool line until 2:45 at the very earliest. This helps in so many ways with the dismissal from the ECC. This also helps keep the emergency lanes clear as long as possible. Our carpool line for K-8 begins moving at 3:00 each day and is finished by 3:20. Your help and cooperation with this is greatly appreciated! Please pass this message on to anyone who picks up your children in carpool.

Home and School wants your input! Please take a moment and complete this SLS Spirit Shop Survey: https://forms.gle/z8v5zXyFdueP5xoa7
