Track and Field Update

Well, it was a long and tiring day, but we had a great time. Thanks to all of the athletes who tried their best and made Valleyfield one of the best behaved, but loudest team in the stands. Supporting each other is perhaps what we learned most about. Individual achievements will be posted here. All athletes that placed in the top 8 in their event scored points for Valleyfield, and we await the official results tomorrow (Friday). Grade 4, 5 and 6 students that placed in the top 4 in their events will be invited back to the West Championship Friday May 24.

Track and Field Meet Wednesday May 8

Tomorrow is the Track and Field Meet. Information has been sent home about the meet schedule and some notes on what to bring. No spiked shoes are allowed at the track meet. Parents are welcome to come and watch. And we would be happy for parents who want to help.

**Some athletes' events are scheduled for after our bus leaves. This means parents of girls in the 200m and 800m races, and boys in the long jump after 2:25 will likely need to pick their children up at Valleyfield. All parents are welcome to pick their children up from the stadium after they have competed in their events.

The weather looks warm and good, but make sure your child is prepared with water, food, a hat, sunscreen and proper clothing. It can be a very long day.
