Little Scholars deadline is Today
October 5, 2009 --
Starting this week Little Scholars director Nicole Harris will meet with all Team parents to evaluate all football/cheer report cards to see who will qualify for Pop Warner little scholars.
Little scholars is a program designed to award pop Warner participants from grades 5-8 who maintain a 97% or better GPA in the classroom while participating in a physical activity. Last season Montclair had 5 football players make 1st & 2nd team all national team and was invited to Disney world in Florida to accept their national awards. Let’s hope that Montclair can have more kids that fit that category for the 09 season.
