Dear Farnsley Families,

We are happy to share that Coach Hopson has been released from the hospital and is recovering well. We appreciate your thoughts and support during this time.

However, due to her ongoing recovery, we will need to postpone Game Day Cheer tryouts until further notice. Once Coach Hopson is medically cleared to return to work, we will set a new tryout schedule and communicate it to all families.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Best regards,
