Market Day offers a huge variety of frozen foods that are similar in cost to shopping at the grocery store or warehouse club. You can place your order online at www.marketday.com.
You can find it under Whitehall-Coplay PTO or use the account number, 22383.

Elementary physical education: Elementary students are reminded to wear appropriate clothing and sneakers on their designated gym days.
Students who are not properly prepared will be unable to participate in gym class. Students will also lose points toward their preparation grade.
If your child is under a physician's care due to an injury or illness, a release form is needed to resume participation in gym class. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
