This position will include two practices a week Monday and Wednesday afternoons 3:30-4:30 and four Saturday meets between December and March. Practices begin in October and go through the first week of March. There is very little prep work but a lot of pay off in this sport. If interested, email [email protected] as soon as possible.

CMCA/Vanguard Gear 

 

Letter Jackets

One of our school parents is a representative for Jostens, the company who handles our high school graduation needs. Jostens also provides custom letter jackets and offers many benefits that our current vendor does not provide.   

 

The benefits include scheduling a time for Mr. Adducci to come in and measure each student for size, having students select individual options for embroidery, and the best part is delivery in only 2 weeks!   

 

Please click here for price and order information.  Mrs. Custer will set two dates for Mr. Adducci to come to Vanguard, one in October and the other in early December.  Letter jackets make great Christmas gifts!

  

Buy a CMCA/Vanguard Blanket or Bear!

WCMCA Bear & Vanguard Courserhat better way to stay warm than to wrap up in a CMCA or Vanguard fleece blanket and cuddle up with a CMCA teddy bear or Vanguard courser! Please see Robin Nickel in the K-4 Front Office to purchase.
