Cross Country Update

A message from Cross Country Coach Amanda Tamo...
 
Hello Arete 4th-8th grade families,
 
This is coach Amanda Tamo.  I am the cross country coach for Cottage Hill, Arete Charter and Magnolia Intermediate.  I would like to invite any and all 4th through 8th graders who would like to give cross country a try to join me this season.  
 
4th and 5th grade families:
We will hold our first practice on Tuesday, August 30th from 2:00pm-3:00pm. At Cottage Hill Elementary. We will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2pm-3pm if there is not a meet scheduled on those days. Our season costs $150 which covers meet entry fees, coaches stipend, awards for our meet (we host a meet October 4th) Coach Tamo will request a donation for an end of the season celebration as we cannot pay that out of student funds. All sports are included in the Blended Middle School program.
 
6th through 8th grade families:
We will hold our first practice on Tuesday, August 30th from 3:25pm-4:30pm, at Magnolia Intermediate. We will practice on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:25pm-4:30pm, if there is not a meet scheduled on those days.  We host a meet October 4th.
 
All families:
Cross Country is a strenuous sport.  The races are all about 1 mile in length.  I will work on safely getting them ready to complete these races!  We usually have 6-8 races a season (schedule will be finalized and shared shortly).
