Uniform check in will be Thursday, 10/31, after school in the counseling center. We will be there until 2:15. If you want to volunteer for uniform check in, please text Ruth at 303-525-3829.
Now that you have had a fabulous snow day and time to wash and pack your uniform, please bring your uniform to avoid the $100 charge on your student account. As you know, we need every uniform to be returned so we will have enough uniforms for next year.
Happy Halloween!
Enjoy the snow!
Uniform check in will be Tuesday, 10/29 and Wednesday, 10/30 after school in the counseling center. We will be there until 3:30 each day. If you want to volunteer for uniform check in, please text Ruth at 303-525-3829.
Please bring your uniform during one of these times to avoid the $100 charge on your student account. As you know, we need every uniform to be returned so we will have enough uniforms for next year.

There will be practice on Monday and Tuesday at 3:15pm for all runners competing at State Meet as well as those continuing their training for Nike Southwest races next month.
For those away during the fall break, please do the following workouts.
Monday: 3 mile warm-up. If you have access to a track, run 3 laps (1200m) at very fast pace – between your 1 mile and 2 mile race pace. Warm-down 2 miles. If you do not have access to a track, run equivalent distance or about 4 minutes at fast effort. (Yes, the entire workout is just one 1200m or 4 minute interval).
Tuesday: 50 minute maintenance run. 6 x 100m strides.
See you all Weds at regular practice.
