Parking for tomorrow's morning workout

Please park in the East lot (the one behind school) and walk to the back Quest Center entrance.  The morning workout will start at 9:45am at the Quest Center.  A wrestling tournament starts at 8:00am so there will be no parking available in the west lot (teacher lot).

Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens

I am planning to go watch the new Star Wars movie with some of the guys after practice tomorrow (Tuesday).  The showing we are going to watch is at 2:45pm at Celebration North and will probably go until 5:15pm.  The movie is rated PG-13, if you would like to know why there is a parents guide on IMDB 

After the movie I would be open to having the guys over to Evergreen Christian school (1630 Griggs St. SE Grand Rapids, MI 49506) to play some board games and have some pizza.  I'm thinking Settler's of Catan, etc.  I will plan on bringing my board game, if you have settler's or any other fun board game that you can bring, please do so!  We would have the food before we start the board games.   

Tomorrow's schedule:

Practice @ Ottawa Hills 11:00am-1:45pm

Star Wars @ Celebration North 2:45pm-5:15pm

Food @ Evergreen Christian School 6:15pm-6:30pm

Board games @ Evergreen Christian School 6:30pm-9:30pm

Please let me know if you need rides, etc.  If you would like to help by providing some health conscious drinks for everyone, that would be great, pizza will already be provided!  Please let me know at the beginning of practice if you are coming to the movie and/or the board game night so we can make sure we get everybody there, order pizza, etc.

Make sure you bring enough money for the movie, you might be able to get a discount with your student ID!
