On Monday, October 28th, the Cross Country program will host a Festival of Races for our elementary kids! This race is 1 mile in length and is free of charge. We would love to have any and all elementary kids who have an interest in running or who would like to learn more about Cross Country join us! At 5:00 our varsity athletes will lead the elementary athletes through an optional short warm-up and a series of stretches. The first race will start at 5:30. How many races we have will depend on how many people register. We would like to have a race for each grade! The starting line will be right behind the bleachers of the Track and Field Stadium. The course will be marked, and middle school and HS athletes will be helping. Please let me know if you have any questions by posting them in the comments. Thank you!

The Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), has received a grant to understand how parents find and use information about literacy programs in their county.
The information from this grant aims to:
-Increase awareness of local Great Start Collaborative and Family Coalitions.
-Highlight the availability of before, during, and after-school literacy support programs.
-Encourage participation in community literacy opportunities for multilingual families.
-Emphasize the importance of reading, singing, and talking with children.
-Promote increased time spent on these activities.
As a parent or guardian of a child ages 0-10, your input is valuable! We invite you to participate in this statewide Michigan Early Learning survey. As a thank you for your time, you'll have the option to enter a raffle for a $25 gift card. One winner will be selected from each county in Michigan.
The survey is completely anonymous. If you choose to enter the raffle, you will be asked to provide your contact information (email or phone number), which will be deleted after the winners are drawn.
