Track & Field
I have sent home a note regarding volunteers for our track & field day at SPS on May 15th. If you are available to volunteer on the day please fill out the bottom portion of the form and send it back no later than next Friday, May 3rd.
We need 20 volunteers from 8:30-11:15 a.m. and also from 11:15-1:15 p.m.
We have been practising very hard this past week on the following events:
100m
800m
ball throw
We will start 1500m, 200m & long jump next week.
I am very impressed with how motivated the students have been. They are pushing themselves to improve their times and distances. Keep up the great work!
Please do not forget to send an outdoor pair of running shoes with your child to keep at school in order for them to participate in track & field events :-)
