UIL Academic T-shirt ($11/$12) Orders and Celebration ($20)

----> Forms and contracts were handed out to UIL students yesterday. If your child did not receive a copy, he or she may come to Ms. Boyd's room (301) to pick one up, clike HERE to print one at home, or pick one up in the front office.

It is time to order your UIL t-shirt. Any parent or student on the HCMS campus is welcome to order a shirt. These are for our Academic UIL competition in March. Students are not required to purchase a shirt, but it does support the UIL program, the teams, and provide a spirit of camaraderie.

All Academic UIL contestants will receive an information packet from their coach this week. Additional forms are available in the front office and via the attached link. Academic UIL contestants will need to either purchase a shirt or wear one of a similar blue color on the day of the competition.

Additionally, all Academic UIL contestants (including alternates) are invited to attend the celebration party at Main Event on April 15th. Students will receive a $10 pre-loaded game card, unlimited rock climbing, laser tag, bowling, putt-putt, and more, and lunch with a drink for just $20. Since we must pay Main Event ahead of time, this is non-refundable.

Orders for shirts and/or celebration slots are due on or before February 26, 2019 to Ms. Boyd. You may drop off completed forms and either a check or cash to the front office or Ms. Boyd's room.

Thank you for supporting our Academic UIL competition! Please contact Crystal Boyd if you have questions, cboyd@eanesisd.net

This is what the shirts look like, but they will be BLUE (like the sample picture). This is a different blue than last year's tees.
