Cross Country Parent/ Guardian:
Thank you for supporting your student athlete in running Cross Country for the John Deere Spartans during this 6-week 2008
season. Runners should have good running shoes, dark (blue/ black) shorts and a
plastic water bottle. Runners are
required to have a sports physical at the beginning of each school year from a
doctor and a parent permission form on file in order to participate. The
cost of the team T-shirt is $8.00 (please make checks payable to John Deere
Middle School.)
Practices will be every school day behind the school from 3:10 until 4:45. Bus transportation will leave John Deere M.S. at 3:15 PM for all Wednesday Meets and at 7:30 AM for the Saturday (Sept. 20 & 27) Meets (see the events schedule.) You are invited and encouraged to attend all meets to root us on to victory. You are also invited to join the "Cross Country Boosters" who are motivated parents taking turns bringing drinks and munchies to nourish our exhausted runners after the race at each of the scheduled meets!
The John Deere Middle School team will host the Moline Invitational Meet on Wed.
Sept. 17, 2008 at Credit Island Park beginning at 4:30 P.M.
I
need adult volunteers to help set up
the course 2:30-3:30 P.M. and during the meet 3:30-5:30 P.M. that day. If you
can help during any of these times, please let me know as soon as possible by
calling or sending a note with your runner.
Once again, THANK YOU for supporting
your RUNNER.
If you have any questions, please call me at
743-8690
Sincerely,
Chris McKenzie
