6 Page 6 SPORTS IN THE COUGAR S DEN! Fugett Sports for the Week of January 21st Intramural Wrestling 6 th grade intramural wrestling will begin in late January and 6 th grade basketball begins in mid-february. Students should listen for announcements about start dates and times. Students and Parents should be reminded that the expectation of a student athlete has always been that they are ambassadors of the school and represent the school when traveling to an away game. For the safety of all students and for the image that, as a school, Fugett wants to portray to others, any misbehavior on the bus or at an away game will not be tolerated and there will be consequences for poor student behavior. Fugett students have been regarded as exceptional young men and women who treat others with respect and exhibit good sportsmanship. We do not want to tarnish this image.
