Golf Announcement: Starting on MONDAY 4/19 We will be changing the days you have practice. The Meadows has the following golf teams practicing at their facilities - MHS Boys and Girls Varsity Teams, MSUM and Concordia Women's Teams and Our Middle school team. We have 41 students out for golf and there is no room for all of us to practice every day along with the other groups and the paying public. So starting next week our team will alternate days of practice: 8th grade will practice Monday, then Tuesday will be the 7th grade and we keep alternating every other day from then on. Easier way to remember it, 8th grade will practice on all odd days and 7th grade will practice on all even days. If you need to switch groups for ride purposes or any other reason, that will be allowed. Tournament update - Monday's tournament is canceled, so we will get out the information for next Thursday's tournament next week.
