RE: Grade 4/5 Track and Field – Tuesday, June 3

Your child will be participating in the Grade 4/5 Track and Field Meet on Tuesday, June 3, at Rotary Stadium.  Participation is required for PE evaluation as this is the culminating event of our Track and Field unit. Schools that are participating in this track meet are: Mountain, Sandy Hill, Prince Charles, Auguston, Thomas Swift, Margaret Stenersen, IKT and McMillan.  Events start at 9:35m sharp and will conclude at 1:30pm.  Students will be bussed to and from Rotary Stadium supervised by their teachers and parent volunteers. We will be leaving the school by 9:05am and returning to the school at 1:45pm. If your child chooses to run the 800m they need to find their own ride to the track at 8:30am as that event begins at 8:45am.
