Hello,
I would like to remind everyone the first day of track practice will be Monday March 3rd. We will start practice after school. All athletes should have appropriate workout clothes and proper running shoes. All athletes must also have a valid physical on file as well as being academically eligible.
We will also host a parent/athlete meeting at 5 pm on Monday as well. At this time I will hand out the track meet schedule, practice schedule, and the track and field handbook. If anyone is unable to make it to the parent meeting or has additional questions please feel free to email me at ksmith@nhm88.com.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
Kindergarten is excited for warmer weather!
