A message from Flyers uniform coordinator
Andrea Otte:
If you e-mailed me recently, my e-mail somehow ate your questions about uniform return. Please e-mail again
if you have questions.
Wanted: Flyer Uniforms
Where: Can be dropped off at Montclair Elementary School office, 2405 South 138th Street
When: Now, between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m.
I would like each returned bag labeled with the athlete's name, if there were any problems with the uniform,
and if they think they will be participating in track & field this spring/summer. If that isn't possible, please call
933-3232 and leave a message. I will call you back and set up a different time/place for returns. Thanks!
