Cross Country Running For Junior Students starts September 10
Dear Parents,
Grades 4-6: Your child may have expressed an interest in joining the Fern Junior Cross Country Running Team. All students who wish to participate are welcome. There are no try-outs.
All students will compete in the first meet on Friday, October 4th at Ashbridges Bay.
Preparing each runner is a partnership between home and school. The Junior team will practice every Tuesday and Thursday morning at Sorauren Park @ 8:10 am. We would like all runners to be there on these days.
Junior families are encouraged to try some runs a few days on weekends, starting their run on sand. This will give them the experience on the surface found at the race site (the first 300 meters is sand at the beach).
Please bring the forms to Mr. Katsihtis at first practice on Tuesday September 10th. Each practice we will start at 8:10am. Please meet Mr. Katsihtis to sign in, followed by a warm up and instructions.
Runners in junior grades will run 2000m.
We would like all runners to be wearing a Fern t shirt. These will go on sale this Monday. If purchasing one is not possible alternate arrangements will be made.
In the event of rainy weather our practice (for a Tuesday or Thursday) will still be held for the junior runners but it will be in the school gym.
See you at practice.
Thank you,
Sarantos Katsihtis
Fern Teacher
