Cross Country Information

October 06, 2017

​Dear Parents of Cross Country Runners,

 We are off to a great start!  If for some reason your child missed the announcements, it is not too late to join.  Please see Mr. Martin for the permission forms.  These must be completed and returned before your child can run in a meet.  If you are planning to drive children, other than your own, to meets, please complete the volunteer driver forms.

Ms. Reichert is running the practices with the help of Samuel's mom, Nikki.  Thank you Nikki!  Practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:10.  We have decided to meet in Ms. Reichert's room so that we can easily head to the trails.  Your child should be dressed to run and should bring a water bottle.  A change of clothes and shoes may be necessary depending on the weather. 

 Races take place on Wednesday afternoons, starting at 3:45.  Please be sure that your child checks in and out with Miss Beleski (at the first and third meets) and Mr. Kelly (at the second meet).  The race order is Grade 5, then 4, then 7, then 6, girls then boys.  If available, a map of the course will be given out at the Tuesday practice before the meet.

 Jerseys will be handed out on Tuesday October 10th at recess in the gym.  An announcement will be made to remind students.

The first race is at Loutet Park on Wednesday October 11th.  Please meet at the baseball field.

The second meet is at Windsor School on Wednesday October 18th.

 The third meet is at Inter-River Park on Wednesday October 25th.  Students are asked to bring a donation for the Harvest Project on this day.

 We look forward to a great season!

 

L. Reichert, J. Beleski, and B. Martin
