Congratulations to both of our soccer teams for finishing an amazing season with 2 wins! They both won their championship games in overtime. They were very exciting games! At the request of our coaches, please see the information about the upcoming banquet:
"The soccer parent game and end of season celebration will be Wednesday at 4PM.
Please bring clean uniforms, so we can make sure we get them all back! Thank you
We will start the parent game a little early this year, around 4 PM. No worries if you can't be there at 4, we will be playing for a while and you can join when you get there. We split the players up in 2 groups. They will alternate 10 minute periods, substituting back and forth. Parents can substitute at will. Depending on the numbers, siblings are welcome to join on the parents side!
We will have pizza delivered around 4:45 PM outside. If you are not playing, we can use some parents to handle the pizza delivery and set up. The kids that are not playing at the time can grab some food and when we substitute the other half can grab some. We ask parents to bring chips and deserts this year.
The Orrington Rec is donating the left over drinks in the snack shack, sodas, Gatorade, water and hot chocolate. Bring some more soda of your choosing if you'd like.
There is a chance of rain, so if you have a popup tent / ez-up, please consider bringing it. If the rain gets too bad, we will bring the food into the cafeteria. After the game we will do the end of year presentation, either outside or in the gym. We had a great season this year and proud of ALL the players! See you all Wednesday!"
Due to the impending weather the cross country championship has been rescheduled to Thursday, October 28th.
Picture Day is tomorrow! I can't wait to see all of those smiles!
Games will be held tomorrow at Hampden Academy, beginning at 12:00 with the boys playing first and the girls directly after. The bus will be leaving from Center Drive at 10:30. Good Luck to all of our players!
Congratulations to both our girls and boys soccer teams for winning their games last night and advancing to the championships tomorrow at Hampden Academy. We are confirming times as I write this. Please continue to check back in later this morning. I will post it as soon as the league has confirmed. Don't forget the Soccer Under the Lights game tonight, beginning at 6:00!
Looking for something fun to do on Friday night? Come watch the annual Soccer Under the Lights game. We will be playing our sister school, Dedham, on Friday night, starting at 6:00. Boys play first. Our very own Faccini twins will be playing the National Anthem, our 8th graders will be recognized and, of course, food from the snack shack will be available. A huge thank you to Union Street Towing for supplying the lights and to our Orrington Rec Committee for continuing to sponsor this fun night.
Thank you for your patience as we work through soccer play offs! Please keep checking the website or speaking to your coaches regarding any last minute changes. As of right now, Center Drive will be hosting both the boys and girls games on Thursday, October 21st. Boys will play first, beginning at 3:30. If either team wins, we will be playing in Hampden on Saturday. More information will be coming.

Our soccer games tonight, boys and girls, have been canceled. We will notify you of the rescheduled date as soon as we get confirmation. Practice will take place as normal.
Tomorrow’s soccer games have been rescheduled for Wednesday due to a conflict from the other team. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Good Morning!
The soccer and cross country schedules have been added to our calendar on our website! We are looking forward to a season of watching these boys and girls do what they love!
The first day was a success! I want you all to know you have amazing kids, thank you for sharing them with us.
**Update on pick-up**
If you are picking up your middle school student, they will exit through door 19, the door in the middle school that faces the parking lot. They will walk through the parking lot to go to your car. We will have adults on duty to monitor this.
If you are picking up your elementary school student, they will exit through the door by the gym, under the awning. They will come out the door and meet you.
If you have both an elementary and a middle schooler, we will send your middle school student around the side of the building on the side walk to meet you while you wait for your elementary student. We will not have any elementary students exiting alone into the parking lot.
Thank you, as always, for your patience!
We are looking forward to seeing all of our students in grades 1-8 tomorrow morning! Students not riding the bus can be dropped off between 7:30-8:15 on the gym side door, under the awning. If you are picking up you child at the end of the day, please park in the parking lot and go to the gym side awning. Students will exit the building and meet their parents at 2:55.
Fall sports are almost here! Just a reminder that your child will need to have a recent physical on file in order to be able to try out and participate in cross country or soccer. Doctor's offices can fax these to school at 825-4525.
