Therefore, Track practice on SATURDAYS will be at the MIDDLE SCHOOL. WED and FRI Track Practice will be at the HIGH SCHOOL. ALL PRACTICES WILL BE HELD AT 9 AM.

Very Important: WHETHER YOU ARE GOING INTO 7TH, 8TH OR 9TH GRADE YOU WILL NEED TO TRY OUT FOR TRACK. HENCE YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE A CERTAIN TIME TO MAKE THE TEAM. PLEASE KEEP A LOOKOUT ON THE BLOG SO THAT YOU CAN BE INFORMED AS TO THE TIMES YOU NEED TO MAKE.

Hello track children! Here we go again...

Listen to announcements tomorrow. Weather permitting we will have track. Perhaps we can do some drills in the gym. I would have to check with the 7/8 building secretaries. Hope you guys have been practicing your breathing and form exercises. Those of you that decided to not participate in track please let me know so I can shred the form. I will call you guys or email you to find out if you are still in. Saturday practice I would really like everyone to be there by 9 on the dot. Warm up run the kunkle followed by a stretch. Short distance kids warm up is to run the track twice. We will look into other track and field events you may also be interested in.

See you there.

There will be no picnic at this time...read below..

As the year is coming to an end, I had wished we could get together to wish the eighth graders farewell and discuss summer meetings. Many of you are busy this month and cannot meet, this is understandable. I will meet with you guys today at 2:30 to discuss practices this summer. Some of you may not be able to meet at all, that is fine. Some of you may be able to practice half the time, that is okay too. My focus this summer is going to be on breathing and form. Many of you really need to work on this. Those of you that have been working on this, we can focus on time and field events you may be interested in doing. As it looks right now, I am looking to meet Wed, Fri and Sat. I am in the hopes that one of those days we will be able to practice at the high school. Still trying to iron out the details. If your parents would like to speak with me please have them call me at 570-872-4498. 

See you today, 5/6 caf at 2:30.
