CMS/CHS:
Dear Female Athletes:
February 3 is National Girls & Women in Sports Day and Columbiana Schools wants to recognize you. We will create a video of our female athletes (grades 7-12), which will be recorded February 3 in the morning.
If you could please wear a Clippers shirt or a shirt associated with your team, that would be great. For the video, each of you will say your name, grade and the sport you play. You will be called to the high school gym from 10-11 a.m. on Wednesday for the recording.
For athletes who are doing remote learning, you come to the high school gymnasium from 11-11:15 a.m. to do your recording. You can also submit your own video, saying your name, grade and the sport
you play. If you're submitting a recording it must be turned in by February 3 by 12 p.m.
Recorded videos can be google shared with Julie Bercik: julie.bercik@columbianaschools.org
If you're recording a video please hold your phone landscape. Wait three seconds before you start talking, and pause for three seconds when you're done speaking.
Have a great day & Go Clips!
CMS: All Columbiana Middle School games and practices will be canceled for tomorrow (Monday, February 1). Have a great evening and Go Clips!
