Happy Summer, Railroaders!
Our Railroader Golf Team is headed to the State Tournament at the Dodge City-Mariah Hills Golf Course! You can follow the event online through KSHSAA: https://www.kshsaa.org/react/activity/tournament/info/boys%20golf/state/20/1. Good luck! RAILROADER PROUD!
Because of the forecast for fog in the morning the golf team will leave at 6:30 am rather than the previously scheduled 7:00. There will not be a sendoff.
Reminder Ellis Power HS Boys Summer Weights start tomorrow morning at 6:30am with field work to follow at 7:30am! Please be on time as we are starting a new work out program and there will be some learning curve I'm sure thanks in advance! Coach Eichman

I didn't want to get this out before we have completed regionals, but with Memorial Day this weekend, Redeem Design needs to complete orders by this Friday. This will give them enough time to get them to us by Thursday next week before we leave for Wichita. Thanks for understanding.

The store is set to close Friday, May 23rd at 10:00 a.m.
