We have 3 more races against other schools, usually on Wednesdays. See Mr. Blewett or Ms. Milberg for details.Volleyball has started! Practice times are either at lunch or right after school. Specific times are listed by the Junior Gym doors and announced in PE classes. There will soon be a Google Classroom for each team with practice and game schedules posted there.
Basketball practices will start in December and the season runs January and February.
Indoor track and field will start after cross country.
