PROM UPDATE. As of today, April 8, Baraga Area School's plans for prom are paused. This does not mean cancelled, but paused. With the raise in new positive cases throughout the state, we are waiting on more guidance from the CDC on how to safely put prom on, if we can. So, nothing is officially cancelled, but officially paused as we wait to get more guidance. Thank you for your patience.
Baraga Area Schools will be having their Kindergarten Registration on Friday, April 23rd. This will be an all day affair, so the Little Vikes and the Kindergarten classes will not meet this day. The teachers will be letting the parents know more about this. Please read the attached flyer and if you have any questions please give us a call.
2021 Summer Youth Soccer registration is now open.
Many of the life skills that players learn through soccer are beneficial in later life, how to form and build relationships, developing a sense of co-operation, and how to handle adversity are all key qualities that will benefit the players in adult life.
Please visit HoughtonFC.com to register today for players 3 to 19 years old."
