Team Meeting

Today in the Cafe right after school...well give me a few mins to get the copies made.  My sitter is a MS student so when the bell rings she will head to my house and I will head to the office to pick up papers.  Sorry for the wait but I have a sick kid today and I don't want to infect the school to make copies earlier:)

Runners make me proud...

• Head to the Cafe after the bell
• Get a few tables down and some chairs ready
• Make the newbies (7th graders) feel welcome
• Don't get too crazy and loud so that a teacher comes looking for me

I will be there shortly and we will get started! Coach Grant and I cannot wait for the season to begin!  We should finish up 3:45/4pm, let your rides home know.
