Hello Winter Track & Field Team. Happy December to everyone. Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving holiday.
This week's weather forecast is the perfect preparation for the meet this weekend.
We are going to practicing outdoors - so please dress accordingly.
*Long top, long tights, hats and gloves are needed. You can wear sweatshirt and sweat pants but they are harder to run
with.
*Anyone not prepared for practice will be sent home and marked as unexcused.
*Absolutely - no one will be wearing t-shirts and short shorts to practice.
Thank you to everyone worked the Christmas Tree Sales on Saturday. We appreciate you very much representing the team
and supporting the Boosters.
Thank you to everyone who has started their lettering writing campaign, currently we have raised 7K toward our 20K goal
for the team. This Tuesday is Giving Tuesday all over the world, we are asking everyone top please share your fundraiser
on your social media page, to get support for the team to allow us to reach out goals.
Our first track and field meet will be this Saturday, December 7th - it is a polar bear meet - outdoor at the Marshall
Track. We still have lots of slots open for volunteering for the home meet on December 7th and the Quad Meets - parents -

by the coaches but I'm sharing the information as it is something fun and put together by the team leaders (See attached or

LEAVE A LEGACY - my favorite part of video - get the message
- Leave a legacy - it cannot be changed. Time can go by - others might come whose better than you but if you make history
and leave it on the track and field - nothing will or can ever change the record -legacy.
