Parents night + a few things

We have hit the ground running the first two weeks of Cross-country and your children are impressing us with their talent, thoughtfulness, and good nature.  We have climbed hills, ate watermelon, run distances we have never run before, nurtured new friendships, competed in a triathlon, gone to the pool, lifted weights, done some yoga, and were treated to ice cream.  It has been a busy and exhausting first two weeks.

That brings me to the point of this message.  Next Monday the 31st of August is our annual Parents Night BBQ.  It will begin at 6 pm in the high school commons and last an hour and a half.  You are invited so that we can recognize the important role you play in supporting the cross-country program.  Please bring your family and enjoy a great meal and the short program.

Second, on Monday the 31st of August we will also be taking team pictures before practice.  Your child should come at 2:30 pm to practice with their uniform so we can accomplish this.  There are forms being sent home with the kids this week so ask if they have them.

Thirdly, our next competition will be held at Mankato East high school on Tuesday the 1st beginning with the junior high race at 4 pm boys and girls high schoolers to follow.
