Photographing 65 kids takes a lot of time! We didn't get our timed mile in today, but we will tomorrow. T-shirt orders are also due tomorrow!
We will have a parent meeting this Monday, August 24 at 4PM in the WMS library. We will keep this meeting as short as possible. Drug testing will also be discussed at this meeting. Team T-shirts are available. These are not a part of the uniform and are optional to order. Typically, kids wear these to school on the day of meets. T-Shirts for those on the team are $5. Additional shirts are available for family members to order. Order forms are being sent home with students today. There is also one posted at the bottom of this entry. We are up to 61 runners! Wow! They are all doing great, and we appreciate their positive attitudes. We are so thankful for the cooler weather!
We DO have practice rain or shine!! If there is dangerous weather, we will be inside.
Yesterday was a GREAT first practice!! We had 56 kids!! We appreciate their patience this week as we work through all of the paperwork! It is going to be a great season! So thankful that the forecast looks much cooler than what they were predicting last week!
Please pick up your child at the front of the building after practice. I have had a few questions about that today. There might be more of you wondering the same thing! Anxious to meet the new kids today and welcome back those from last year! If you enjoy running, we would love to have you on the team! Our competitions (meets) are 1.5 miles long. We practice Monday through Friday until 4PM.
Each student must have a completed physical to practice. The $60 activity fee must be paid before the first meet. Practice begins, Monday, August 17th. Each Monday is an Early Out, but practice time is still the same. Athletes will be in a study hall for about 30 min in the cafeteria. Coach Salmans will get them from the cafeteria and begin practice in the Student Union. They need comfortable clothes, tennis shoes, water bottle and a watch (bottle and watch would be great, but optional). Please encourage your child to be drinking water throughout the day! It sounds like the 90s will be returning for next week. We will run outside; however, we can do some other conditioning inside on the really hot days. See you on Monday!! |
