Spring 2018 Annual Elementary Track Meet

Dear Parents,

The 66th Annual Elementary Track Meet will be held on Wednesday, May 30 (Grade 6), and Thursday, May 31 (Grade 5) on the playing fields located behind Shaker Junior High School.

Competitors from each school will be bused from their elementary schools at approximately 8:55 a.m. to the track. They will return to school at approximately 11:45 a.m. (Blue Creek walks to the track).

Appropriate dress should be planned for what could be either a hot or a cool day. ALL ATHLETES MUST WEAR SNEAKERS! Hats and sunscreen are recommended. Also, bring water or juice in a non-breakable container.

Starting at 9:30 a.m., ALL the field events, sprint trials (50, 60, 75,) and running finals (100, 200, 400, 600) will be scheduled. Athletes from each school will be supervised by their physical education instructors and classroom teachers. The sprint events finals and relays will begin at approximately 10:45 a.m.

Parents and interested adults are invited to attend the track meet. Due to construction, this year’s event will take place behind Shaker Junior High School. Please remain either behind the fenced area of the junior high fields or at the top of the hill nearest to the high school looking down on the events. Seating will be limited so please bring a chair. You are encouraged to park in the Shaker Junior High School parking lot.

We hope that you will attend this athletic event which has provided a fine experience for our elementary students for so many years!

Sincerely,

Matt Stein

Director of Health, Physical Education & Athletics
