Calling All Future Tony Romos!
Still looking for a way to keep the kids active this summer? If your little ones (and maybe you yourself) have been missing football season, we've got good news! Trinity Christian Academy is giving away a free, one-week pass to a Little Trojan Football Camp. Camp starts next Monday, June 21, and there are separate sessions for grade-school tykes (grades 3-5) and older folks (grades 6-8). Campers will learn fundamental football skills from Trojan coaches and participate in competitions every day. To enter, send an e-mail to mediateam@pharrpr.com detailing why your child deserves to attend. Be sure to include a phone number and your child's age bracket! Remember, camp starts Monday so get those letters in fast!
