Hi,
My name is Laura Gleason, and I am the new head coach of the Girls Soccer Program at Case High School.
We are excited to host two youth-focused events next week—a Youth Night game and a Middle School Girls Practice—and would greatly appreciate your help in sharing this information with students and families at your school. Please note that participation in the youth practice is limited to 7th and 8th grade girls. These events are designed to connect younger players with our high school program and celebrate our local soccer community.
Youth Night – Case Eagles vs. Park Panthers
Date: April 23, 2026
Location: Case High School
Game Schedule:
JV: 4:30 PM
Varsity: 6:30 PM
Youth attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a halftime shootout during the varsity game.
Additional Information:
Concessions will be available
Parking is available in the student lot at the front of the school
Middle School Girls Practice (7th & 8th Grade Only)
Date: April 22, 2026
Time: 4:00–5:00 PM
Location: Hammes Field at Case High School
This practice is a great opportunity for 7th and 8th grade girls to experience a high school training environment and play in a stadium setting. Players who attend both the practice and the game will have the opportunity to walk out with the varsity starting lineup during pregame introductions and the national anthem. Those interested may also sign up to participate as a ball girl during the game.
Important Reminders:
Players must wear shin guards and cleats
I’ve attached a flyer with additional details. If you have any questions or need anything further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your time and support—we hope to see your students there!

Gators Curtain Call Boosters (GCCB), in partnership with the Racine Unified School District, is excited to launch our Sponsor a Seat fundraiser in support of the Gifford School auditorium.
GCCB is a dedicated theater booster organization committed to supporting the Gifford School theater program by fostering community engagement, meeting program needs, and promoting a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts among our students.
Our auditorium is a vital space within our school and community. It hosts music concerts, elementary and middle school theater productions, awards ceremonies, school gatherings, and many other meaningful events. While this space has served generations of students, the current seating dates back to the 1960s and is in need of replacement to ensure comfort, safety, and accessibility for all guests.
Through our Sponsor a Seat campaign, you have the opportunity to be a lasting part of the auditorium's much needed refresh. Your support will directly impact the comfort, accessibility, and overall experience of every student, family, and audience member who enters our auditorium.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support of our students and programs. Together, we can create a space that reflects the pride, talent, and spirit of our Gifford community.
Sincerely, Gators Curtain Call Boosters (GCCB)
