2009 PIN PRESS
BOWLING: The Next Generation - REVENGE OF THE PINS

Back by popular demand—our Bowling Program has returned for JH STUDENTS ONLY. There are limited spaces and the times and dates set are:

MONDAYS: 2:30-4:00 pm        1/25,  2/1,   2/8,   2/22,   2/1,  3/8   3/15

The cost is $45 for the session which includes shoes, ball and two games. If you have your own shoes and do not bowl two games, the cost is the same. You register by session, not by individual dates. There are no refunds for absence, lack of interest, doctor appointments, etc. because we rent the lanes ahead of time.
Students do not register by teams. Lanes are first come first serve, and no scores are tracked for a league; the bowling is just for fun.
This is a school sponsored event, so school rules and policies are in effect, and chaperons are considered staff. Mr. Fedinec reserves the right to make teams as needed if numbers are greater than six per lane. Students may bring an appropriate change of clothing and extra money for snacks. No students may be at Lisle Lanes if they are not registered, and will be asked to leave.
No student may walk home from Lisle Lanes or go home with an unauthorized person unless the school is notified by a note ahead of time.
Students must be picked up by 4:15 pm. There is no option of returning to SJA for JHASA or extended day.

If parent/guardian is driving his or her own student or carpool, the student goes to their regular dismissal lot. Students requiring a ride meet in the Junior High Lobby and will be dismissed to the carpool cars for the bowlers waiting after the regular car pool pick up has ended. Drivers going to Lisle Lanes enter the bowling alley from the rear entrance going along the North side or plumbing supply side of the building and leaving going up the South or Snow Valley side of the building. Pick-ups are the same. Lisle police will enforce this as will the bowling alley because of traffic delays on Rte. 53. We have had great success with this program because of the volunteers, chaperons, and drivers. We do need your help again. A confirmation letter with directions and times will be sent back to those who volunteer.

Please fill out the permission slip, driver, and volunteer forms that went home in the 10/14 Wed. envelope and return them to the homeroom teachers. They will forward them to Mr. Fedinec. Please- -no cash! Checks only, written out to St. Joan of Arc. Space is limited; slips are due ASAP.
FIELD TRIP FORMS AND DRIVERS INFORMATION FORMS CAN ALSO BE FOUND HERE.
