    Dear Jefferson Soccer players,

    We had such a lovely season with you, but all good things must come to an end. Since our season has ended, we need your jersey to be washed and turned into Mr. Farnan or Mr. Heffernan in room 222. If we don't have your jersey by Friday, we will assume it is lost and a fee will be added to your account and your yearbook will be in limbo. We certainly don't want that, so get those jerseys turned in!
