This year students in Grade 4 and 5 will be able to participate on the Cross-Country team. Please provide consent in schoolcash if you would like your child to participate.

Parents or guardians will have to make their own arrangements to get their children to and from the meet. Please be there as soon as possible after school. Students are to come in appropriate clothing for running outdoors - rain or shine.

Practices will be at Auguston during lunch on Mondays & Thursdays, beginning Sep. 19 until Oct. 7 (no practice on Thursday, Sep. 26 due to the rescheduled Terry Fox School Run & Monday, Sep. 30, due to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - NO SCHOOL). Students will meet on the far end of the grass field when the outside bell rings. Please ensure your child's Off Grounds consent is completed in schoolcash.
