Cross Country, Flag Football and Basketball

Below is information and dates that are important to our athletics this coming fall/winter. Our first cross country CSAL meet is 9/14. Flag football season begins on 9/18 and I would love to start practices on Tuesday 9/7 or earlier if we have teams and coaches set. Remember I will need a coach and up to 10 players for each team. The fee for cross country is $100.00, we have seen an increase in fees over theyears for the events outside of CSAL. Flag Football will be $85.00 per student. I will be hosting a mandatory Parent meeting for all Basketball and Volleyball players on Monday 9/20 (Only one parent must attend). This is a very important meeting to attend. We have kids who did not play basketball last year and we have girls who have not played Volleyball for the past 2 years. I look forward to seeing all of you on 9/20.

Robotics

Our school is planning to participate in an after-school robotics program, but we need your help! Do you have a few hours per week to mentor a
small group of middle school students? No robotics background required! The commitment is just 8 weeks long and will provide our students exposure to this amazing STEM activity. We have partnered with BEST Robotics who provides this program at NO COST to our school or children. This is a national organization that provides the supplies, competition venue and support to make this happen.Please contact Jill Smith at 303-555-1212 orjill@gmail.com for more info. www.rockymountainbest.org
