Hello Track & Field Families-

The season is quickly approaching and I wanted to share a few reminders and updates:

•  Spring Registration is Monday February 22^nd in the Sheldon Cafeteria;  3:30 to 7:00-See Sheldon Athletic website for necessary forms to complete
• I will hold a parent meeting on that day at 6:00 pm in the Cafeteria; I strongly encourage you to attend to hear about the upcoming season and team expectations
• Important: All students need to pass 4 classes this term to be eligible and also need to be enrolled in 4 classes spring term
• All students need a current physical on file at the school in order to participate; I recommend to check this out early and get an appointment scheduled now with your doctor if needed
• If you know of other families intending on being part of the track team please feel free to share this information; always a challenge getting the word out to all new families

Other News:

• The season officially begins Monday February 29^th after school 3:45 at the track.
• If you have “used” spikes or track shoes that no longer fit I have a shoe rack in my storage area for kids to use/borrow-a great way help others!
• New 2016 T & F gear coming soon-order forms and samples available at parent meeting
• If you wish to be removed from the email list please let me know

Team Fundraisers:

• We will host the 39^th Annual “Run for the Shamrock” on Saturday March 12^th at 9:30; it is a 5K/10K community Run & Walk starting at Alton Baker Park-Athletes will be asked to volunteer at the event as well as recruit runners and walkers to participate at the event.
