2003-04 IHSA All-School Mailing Sent to Member Schools

IHSA member schools should be expecting their annual all-school mailing from the IHSA within the next few days. The staff of the association completed work on this year's mailing August 5. The annual effort provides member schools with various information and publications for the 2003-04 school year.

Some of the changes this year from last year's mailing that member schools should note include:

• A complete list of the IHSA film library can be accessed through the IHSA website. Schools or individuals wishing to purchase films should contact Tina Brown (tina@ihsa.org) at the IHSA office.
• Schools wishing to submit records for the IHSA record book can do so by contacting Cheryl Mitchell (cherylm@ihsa.org) at any time during the year.
• Schools wishing to submit names of coaches or administrators to serve on advisory committees will be able to do so through the School Center, effective with the start of the 03-04 school year.
