26. Children Today  “Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food, and tyrannize their teachers.”

28. Our Athletic Trainer  Carissa Fleek, ATC Email: cfleek1@Fairview.org Office Phone Number: 763-506-8440  Baseline Testing for Concussions Talk to your coach  If you’re injured, tell your coach!

29. MSHSL Rule  If your son/daughter is seen or treated by a physician for an injury or serious illness, they must bring a written note from the physician before they can return to practice or play in a game. This is a Minnesota State High School League Rule (Bylaw 107.00). This is for the student’s protection as well as to keep everyone informed as to the student’s readiness. If you forget to get a note, you can have one faxed to me at 763-506-8403.
