Welcome back, Tigers! Fall teams have been hard at work over the summer training for their seasons and joining in on optional workouts and camps. Tennis, volleyball, mountain biking, cross country, and our football co-op have officially started their seasons, with competitions starting very soon.
We encourage you to join us in cheering on all of our athletes this season as they compete.
We kick off our River Campus High School home matches on Friday, August 21 as our girls soccer team takes on vs. Hillsboro High School at 4:30 and 6 p.m. Daddy’s Dogs will be there, so come hungry. Looking ahead to next week, Fall Spirit Night is on Tuesday, August 25 in Sperling Gym. August 25 is also our High School volleyball home opener. There will be a Spirit Store pop-up, crafts, school swag, face painting, a photo booth, Daddy’s Dogs, and more! All Middle School students and families are encouraged to attend and support the High School athletes in the programs they will join in the future.
