STUDENT ATHLETIC ACTIVITY CARDS

of belonging than to encourage your student to attend the many
athletic events (over 50) all year. Passes are good for any
regularly scheduled athletic event home or away all year.
Passes are sold early in the fall semester at lunch or through the
front office.
$20 = any 10 regular season athletic events
$50 = ALL regular season athletic events
