MKA Lacrosse Schedule for week of 4/30

All:
First of all, a thank you from our players and coaches to all who contributed to a wonderful Senior Day on Saturday.
The decorations, tailgate, and enthusiastic attendance really made for a great experience for our Seniors and their families. Special thanks to the Kingsley's and thier guests. Tailgate Pro's!!
Thank you all.

Secondly, be aware that the parking at St. Peters Prep is difficult. I went there to scout on Saturday morning and drove around for about 20 minutes before I found a spot. Please allow ample time, and you may want to consider some car pooling if you're planning to attend.

Third, as we enter tournament time, our schedule becomes more unpredictable. Games are not determined until after seeding meetings, and sometimes moved to avoid conflicts, etc. This week our only scheduled game is on Wednesday vs. St. Peters Prep. The Essex County tournament will be seeded Wednesday night and we may have a game on Saturday. We also may move our Prep game from Monday to Sunday depending on what schedule comes out of the counties. All up in the air at this point, but to be determined during the course of the week. I ask for you understanding and flexibility.
Thanks.

Need Help for Relay for Life!!

All:Our senior John Kubinak is organizing a boys lacrosse team to participate in the Relay for Life fundraiser.
I think it would be great if our Lax family at both the Upper and Middle school levels could get behind him on this.
A great way to show the community the strength of our programs both on and off the field.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Coach Edwards

MKA Lacrosse Family:Relay for Life is an annual fundraiser sponsored by the American Cancer Society. The town of Montclair will have its 3rd annual relay this year from May 19th -20th at the Middle School Campus. Ms. Jennings, our academic dean, is the director of the relay for Montclair this year. She has assigned me with the task of pulling together a lacrosse "team." The basic idea of the relay is to get a "team" together, raise money before the relay, and then on the night of the relay, the goal is to have at least one person from every team walking on the track at once. There are two ways you can help this years MKA Lacrosse team: 1. Participation - you can choose to join our team and help raise money as well as walk with us in May. 2. Donations - any forms of donations are accepted (there are many). Please contact me with any questions or if you would like to participate or donate!

Message from MKA on Athletic Equipment Storage

From MKA to all Spring athletes..... Message out to our spring athletes.... the drop off area adjacent to the Locker Lounge (before the steps going to the Learning Lab) is NOT for athletic equipment. Currently there is tennis equipment, boys and girls lacrosse equipment. Students can store their equipment behind the bleachers in the gym NOT in this wing of the building; there is just not enough space.
Thank you
MKA Administration
