WGSD Elementary School Night At Roberts Gym

Webster Groves High School invites all WGSD elementary school students and staff to come cheer on the Statesmen on Tuesday, February 14th, as they take on Jackson High School in Roberts Gym.  This year's elementary school night will be twice as much fun as last year because both the boys and girls varsity teams will be playing.  The girls will tip off at 5:00 and the boys game will follow at approximately 6:30.  In addition, the junior varsity teams will be playing at the same times in the auxillary gym.

All WGSD elementary students and staff will be admitted free to that night's games and the students will be able to enter for attendance prizes that will be drawn during half time of both games.  Admission for students middle school age and above, as well as adults, will be the usual $3 per person.  Doors will open for spectators at 4:30.

Concussion Education and Information:

It is very important that all coaches, athletes, and their parents be aware of and alert for the signs and symptoms of concussion.  An athlete who is suspected of a concussion may not return to play until they have been cleared by an qualified health-care professional and have the MSHSAA Concussion Return to Play Consent Form signed and returned to WGHS.  For more information on concussions click here to view a presentation from the MSHSAA.
