To Parents of EJHS Students,
The Mustangs Softball team has earned a trip to the IESA State Finals! To support them, the Effingham
Sportsbackers and Effingham Athletics are sponsoring a fan bus for EJHS 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students to attend and cheer on the girls.
On Friday, September 19th, the fan bus will depart from EJHS at 9:45 a.m. and travel to Maxwell Park in Normal,
Illinois, where the Mustangs will play at 12:30 p.m. Please note that there is no school on this day. Students will need to arrange their own transportation to EJHS in order to ride the 9:45 a.m. bus. The bus will travel directly to the game and return immediately after, with no stops along the way. The expected return time is between 5:00/5:30 p.m.
The Effingham Sportsbackers will cover the cost of game tickets for all students. Students should bring money for
food, drinks, or souvenirs they may wish to purchase. They may also bring a sack lunch if preferred.
To reserve a seat, students must return the attached permission slip by Thursday, September 18th at 1:00 p.m.
Students who turn in a permission slip are committing to the trip and are expected to follow through. THIS
HELPS US PLAN ON THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF TICKETS, BUSES, AND CHAPERONES.
We look forward to a great day of Mustang pride and encourage our students to join us in cheering on the team at state!
