Busy Time for Boys Team

The 2020-21 Rockets Boys had two meets against Appleton North/East and Bay Port last week! It was great to be back racing in the pool!

We host Appleton West/Kimberly this Tuesday, Dec. 15 and                 Oshkosh North/Lourdes on Dec. 22. 

We are fortunate to have immediate family members be present at the meet, but we miss seeing other fans there too.

All of our meets are being Live Streamed this season, so you can follow the Rockets that way! The FVA Conference website has all the links, just go to the host school's site.

We are working hard as we start Week 4 of the Boys' season. 

Thanks for your support of the ROCKETS!

Happy Thanksgiving

 Wishing all the Rockets and their families a safe and 

A Special Thanks to our Veterans

I hope this message finds everyone doing well and staying safe!

Wishing a special Thank You to all our veterans, active military members and their families on Veteran's Day!

We are grateful for the sacrifices you have made to serve our country and protect our freedoms!

Most of us know someone who has served in the military, so take a moment today to THANK them!

Special shout out to my brother, Cory Raeth, who is an Air Force veteran!
