Cross Country Athletes & Parents:

Here’s our weekly update:

·         Parents, we still have a surplus of paper plates, plastic cups, plastic silverware, napkins, and drinks for the dinners. Just stop by my room (404) to pick up what you need!

·         Lost & Found: we have missing items in our classrooms. Please stop by to claim your items! Any lost items, by the end of the season, will be donated to charity.

·         Just a heads-up…very soon we will need to know who is willing to go to the OHSAA Middle School Cross Country Championships. We’ll talk to the team about this but we need to know who can make this meet so we can take as many kids as we can, without leaving anybody out who would want to go! Just like last year, we’ll take the top 20 boys & top 20 girls who want to go.

·         Avon Lake Fun Run is set for Tuesday, September 27^th. This is a dual-meet with Amherst, an informal 1.8 – mile run and a tradition for these two SWC schools! We will need volunteers (not many) to help run this race, so if you are willing to help out, please let us know! Here’s the schedule:

7th Girls     4:30

7th Boys     4:45

8th Girls     5:00

8th Boys     5:15

·         The end of the season is quickly approaching! With the end of our season soon upon us, the coaching staff is planning some fun activities that hopefully will promote team-building and an appreciation for the hard work put in this season! The next 3 weeks’ activities include:

Tuesday, September 27^th                  Avon Lake ‘Fun Run’

Saturday, October 8^th                       End-of-season Bowling Celebration AFTER Jack Wilhelm Invitational

Cloverleaf Week:
