Cross Country Practices
Dear Parent / Guardian,
Your child has expressed interest in joining Abbotsford Middle School’s Cross Country Team! We are excited to offer another opportunity for student-athletes to represent our school in running races throughout the Fall.

-
Wednesday, September 25

Wednesday, October 2

More information about the Valley Royals Grand Prix Racing Series can be found at https://valleyroyals.ca/valley-royals-grand-prix-cross-country-series/
Students are expected to be at the park no later than 4:00pm. The meet ends at approximately 4:45pm – 5:00pm. Parents who will not be staying to watch the meet are asked to please be on time picking up their child. Students and families will need to make arrangements for their own transportation to and from the Grand Prix events. If you are able to volunteer to drive other students, please make arrangements to get a Volunteer Driver’s Application package from the office. Once the forms are completed, our administration team will review and provide approval.
Practices will be held at Mill Lake on Mondays, please stay tuned for details. The practices will be after school and will conclude at approximately 3:30pm – 4:00pm. The practices will be supervised by Mrs. Legault, Ms. den Ouden, and/or Mr. O’Neill. We will meet in the foyer of the school at 2:30 and walk together to Mill Lake. Then, we will be running around Mill Lake. At the conclusion of the practice, we will walk back to the school. Students will be dismissed at the front of the school.
PRACTICE DATES: September 17, 19, 24 | October 1, 8
