Photo drop from last night's OilerNation Celebration!
A huge crowd on the campus of EAWR tonight for OilerNation Celebration!
Today the high school hosted What's Up EAWR for community leaders from Wood River, East Alton, and Hartford. The high school was able to highlight programs and facilities. Thanks also to Dorothy's in East Alton for our box lunches--they were delicious.
With practices beginning on Monday and today being the last day the offices are open before then, it is critical that parents sign their students up for athletics today. Mrs. Guthrie and myself receive confirmations when students are registered and we immediately go to work for you checking that their physicals are current and contacting coaches to reach out to you. Physicals may be obtained at walk in clinics around the area, even at the Urgent Care in downtown Wood River.
Go to EAWR.net and click Athletic Registration as that link is repaired now.
I also have attached the first day practice schedule, times, and locations as well as the weekly bulletin for all practices for next week. Hope this helps families with advanced planning.
