Ticket Info:
Before the tournament we sell Dawg Pound tee shirts and advanced tickets. The advanced tickets are only sold to our ADL students, and are good for all four days of the tournament. An advanced ticket is $12 while a single night ticket is $4. We will have a few Dawg Pound T- shirts available for sale too. The shirts are $12 and are a great way for our students/community members to show their support for our school. Advanced tickets and Dawg Pound shirts will be available to purchase during each lunch period until Wednesday the 18th. After this date, same day tickets can be purchased in the gym lobby each night for $4.
Coming to the tournament is a great way to see our school community at its best. We look forward to seeing you during tournament week. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Rosalind Hutton, adlathletics@ewsd.org

Caregiver Mental Health Education Series
There will be an online information session for caregivers on Feb 18th (5.30-7pm) about adolescent health and wellness, with a focus on substance misuse.
This event is tailored for all caregivers of youth and adolescents whether your youth is engaging in substance misuse or not. There will be opportunities to ask questions and engage in discussion about health and wellness considerations for youth and families. There will also be opportunities for you to ask questions confidentially if you prefer.
We hope that you will leave with additional information about adolescent development, additional parenting strategies to communicate with your youth about substances and substance misuse, and resources.
