Junior Olympics!
T-shirt Orders Due FRIDAY
Relay Team and Fastest Boy/Girl Tryouts During RUN CLUB This Week
 
If you have already registered, please turn in your t-shirt order form by this Friday, May 10th.
If you have not registered, there are spots available, but don't delay as they are filling quickly. Please read the parent information and turn in your registration form and t-shirt order form ASAP (no later than Friday).
Some clarification about RELAY TEAM and FASTEST BOY/GIRL Tryouts this week:
- If your child has Monday PE (affected by rain) or morning PE (affected by testing) and would like to try out, please have him or her attend Run Club at least once this week.
- Tryouts will still be held in afternoon PE classes this week, as testing typically occurs in the morning. If, for any reason, your child does not try out during PE, he or she can do so in Run Club this week.
- To try out, your child is timed running a set distance. If they'd like, children may try out more than once.
For more Junior Olympics details, see the Coach's Corner section of this newsletter.
