Track is Here!

Dear Parents of 4^th-8^th grade boys and girls,

          We will be having our first track practice after school on Tuesday, April 10th, from 3:45-5:00.  All 4^th-8^th grade boys and girls are invited!  Our meets include all short distance runs (50m-200m), long distance runs (800m-1,600m), softball throw for 5^th/6^th grades, shot put and discus for older grades, long jumps, triple jumps, and other activities.  Practices will be every Tuesday and Thursday after school until May 15^th.  We will always begin practice in the gym to stretch and warm-up, and then we will be heading outdoors (weather permitting) to practice around our building.  Please make sure your child always has tennis shoes and clothing for all types of weather.  We will have 3 track meets, one cross-country meet, and track pictures this year. Track meets are all day on a Saturday.  Cross-country meets are held in the afternoon/evening during the week.  The dates are below:
