Homecoming and More!
Plan to bring the whole family, young and old, to Torpy Field and Depew Park this Saturday for a fun-filled day. Sports Carnival Starting at 9 a.m. and running until noon, the Peekskill Athletic Department under Lou Panzanaro is hosting the second Sports Carnival on Torpy Field. Try your hand at all kinds of contests: batting, golfing, lacrosse and football throws, basketball shots -- there are many offerings for the whole family and just about all are free! The Athletic Department will also be offering you the chance to walk down memory lane by buying old-style uniforms -- proceeds benefit the Jason Paige Wellness and Fitness Center planned for PHS next year. Homecoming Game Starting at 1:30 p.m., Coach Frank Bucci and the Red Devils take on Pelham in Depew Park. The players have been getting better and stronger every game and really appreciate fan support. Come out and cheer on your school! Coffee with the Superintendent If you haven't met new Superintendent Jim Willis yet, stop in to the Administration Building at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 22 for the traditional Coffee with the Superintendent. This is an excellent opportunity to raise any questions or concerns about the school district that may be on your mind. The Administration building is at 1031 Elm Street. Spirit Week Peekskill High School has been abuzz this week with the traditional preparations for Homecoming. The Student Council organized special days all week, culminating in Red and Blue Day/Spirit Day on Friday. These students enjoyed Seventies Day. |
