One of the features of Bound is that students can register for any sport/activity they "may" want to participate in throughout the year now. The Clarke Activities Department is needing parents/guardians to register their students now. We are doing this in order to properly schedule events and fill coaching positions. Please go back into your Bound account and register accordingly.

We hope to see you at our events this coming week!
