EPES News

Anyone else have their eyes on the weather for Friday and our Fun Run festivities? It's times like this where I wish I was Joe Calhoun instead of being Amanda Calhoun! I have some updates for our plans for Friday: 

No matter what, we are definitely having our Harvest Parties on Friday! Those will not be impacted by weather, the party is on!

For the Fun Run, we are still monitoring the weather before making a decision. Throughout the week, the forecast has improved, which is giving me hope. As of this moment, we are keeping the Fun Run on Friday, but I will make a decision by 1:00pm tomorrow about whether we need to move to the rain date of Friday October 23.

Thank you everyone for your patience in this process! 

The online Hempfield Girls Basketball Spirit Wear store is open through October 26. Order your gear today!
