Last week of Football

It's hard to believe that our football season has almost come to an end.  We are so proud of all our Diamonds - they have worked incredibly hard this season and have been the shining stars at each game. While they have been learning routines, polishing steps and practicing, practicing, practicing, there has also been a lot of behind the scenes activity going on.  We want to take a moment and say thanks to all the parents, grandparents, family members and friends who have helped our Diamonds shine this season!

Thanks again for a terrific 2011 Season. Don't forget - one more game - this Saturday vs Clear Brook at 2 pm at the Creek Stadium.  Hope to see you there one last time cheering on our Gators and our Dickinson Diamonds!

Bob and Sue Dance

Bob and Sue Dance is coming up next week.  If you are unfamiliar with this dance - it is the dance that each girl gets to dance with a male partner - dads, grand-dads, teachers, friends, brothers, etc.  Rehearsals for the dance are next week October 24, 25 & 27 from 6:00 - 6:30 pm in the dance room. 

Helpers are needed this Saturday, October 22nd in the dance room at 10am to help sew Hook-N-Eyes on the Pebble's costumes.  Your Diamonds will receive 20 merits if you are able to come and help.

Men will need to wear an orange shirt for the dance or a Fred Flintstone costume.
