October 4, 2007Mid-Pacific in 11th place in Shop and Score Program!
As of reporting period October 2, 2007, Mid-Pacific remains in 11th place out of 49 schools in the Times/Kraft Shop and Score Program!
Purchase select Kraft foods items at Times Super Market and Mid-Pacific Athletics will earn points towards uniforms.
We have a score of 1,159 which equates to 2.4% ($2,426.54) of the $100,000 of equipment and uniform funds available to the schools! That's great! We're only 98 points out of 10th place and 124 points out of 9th place.
The campaign ends on October 23. Last year our point totals went towards the purchase of new varsity soccer uniforms. In previous years your participation has helped MPI purchase new track and field and cross country uniforms.
"On behalf of the student athletes at Mid-Pacific, MAHALO for your support," said Athletic Director Bill Villa.
