Hello everyone! We have been watching the weather and as of now, the Maple Grove game vs. MES is still scheduled. The prediction is that the earliest the weather would move in would be 7 pm. The game starts at 5 and should be finished before any of the weather starts. Also, please note that we have the potential for strong storms overnight. Please make sure you have your phones charged and the volume on or a weather radio so you can hear if there is a warning and need to take cover. We will be sure to keep everyone updated if anything changes.
Check out this opportunity for any middle or high school student.
