			<title>Varsity Spring Football Memo</title>
			<link>http://school.maconroadbaptist.org/news-updates/varsity-spring-football-memo</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Football Memo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To:	Potential Football Players and Parents&lt;br /&gt;From:	Coach Griffith and Varsity Football Coaching Staff&lt;br /&gt;Date:	Monday, April 8, 2012&lt;br /&gt;Re:	Spring Football&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Football season is right around the corner!  Well, maybe it is a few months away, but we are busy planning for the upcoming season.  Spring football practice dates have been set and we are looking forward to profitable training sessions this summer, in anticipation of the finishing of the field house on the East Campus.  It is time for all current and potential Varsity football players to come out and catch this FOOTBALL FEVER!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S&lt;strong&gt;pring football practices are set for the following dates, from 3:45-5:45 p.m. on the East Campus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Thursday  5/3				Friday, 5/4&lt;br /&gt; Monday, 5/7				Thursday, 5/10&lt;br /&gt; Monday, 5/14	Tuesday, 5/15		Thursday, 5/17	Friday, 5/18&lt;br /&gt; Monday, 5/21	Tuesday, 5/22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first two practices will be without pads; however, please plan to stay a little later on Tuesday, 5/4, to check out your equipment.  Spring football does not have a fee attached to it.  The school provides practice pants, practice jersey, game pants, game jerseys, shoulder pads, and helmets.  Players are responsible for all other equipment.  We will do two days of conditioning and technique training before any contact drills or plays are run.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to spring practices, we are planning to continue having summer practice sessions as well.  With the completion of the field house near, we will be able to have more productive practice sessions than any time in past seasons.  &lt;br /&gt;Attendance at these summer workouts are essential to your growth as a player and the overall success of our team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have traveled to Seward, Nebraska the past two summers to participate in the Concordia University football camp.  We are again planning on this trip this year.  This trip is scheduled for July 14-18, 2012.  More information will be coming home soon; however, we wanted you to be aware of the cost of this trip, which is about $250.  You will also need meal money for the five days we are gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past season, we had the opportunity to close out the football season by attending the NACA football championship in Dayton, Tennessee.  We are planning to attend again this year, as it was a wonderful spiritual experience for those that were in attendance last year.  This trip will cost about $200 around the end of the regular season.  So we will be in the TAACS playoffs and the NACA tournament again this year.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I strongly encourage any young men currently in the eighth through eleventh grade to come out to Spring practice and see what exciting new things we have planned.  Football is an amazingly fun sport that will afford you skills, abilities, and memories that can last you a lifetime!  We work hard and we have fun doing it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We look forward to a great season filled with hard work and fun.  Please feel free to contact Coach Griffith at 901-550-7688 or by email at rgriffith@maconroadbaptist,org if you have any questions or concerns.&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>Box Tops</title>
			<link>http://school.maconroadbaptist.org/news-updates/box-tops</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;Just a reminder that our Box Tops for Education and Campbell's Labels for Education campaign is in full swing.  Macon Road is considered a top performing school thanks to your faithful participation!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hundreds of General Mills products contain the Box Tops for Education logo.  We also participate in the Campbell's Labels for Education drive.  Please clip, trim, save and send these to school in a plastic zip bag. The box tops earn $.10 each, and they add up quickly.  In May 2011, we sent in 19,000 box tops earning $1,900.00!!  The labels are collected and redeemed for items used in the classrooms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please remind family members and friends who might not have school aged children to save these for you so that we might exceed the funds raised in previous years!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you would like to view a complete list of participating products, please visit their website at www.boxtops4education.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you all for participating in this successful effort.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pam Dunn&lt;br /&gt;MRBS Coordinator&lt;/p&gt;
