Golf (Spring) season is held during April, May, and June. All students are eligible to participate who meet academic standards. Tryouts begin in April when first cuts are made. Final cuts will be determined as students play a round at a local course to determine team mem- bers. Interscholastic competition begins in May and ends in June with the Tri-County Championship.
Track and Field (Spring) team is open to boys and girls in grades 7 and 8. The students compete with teams from other schools in a variety of events, includ- ing: shot put, discus, long jump, high jump, hurdles, re- lays, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600 meter running events. Participants may compete in two running events and one field event or vice versa. The goal of the program is to introduce the fundamental tech- niques and motivations that are unique to track and field. Each participant will learn to set and achieve per- sonal goals for the purpose of qualifying for the League Meet. The team practices on a daily basis, unless there is a meet.
Intramurals (Year Round) is an after-school activity that begins at 3:15 and ends at 4:00. It takes place all year at least three days a week. Students should listen to the school announcements regarding those days and upcoming activities. Throughout the year, students play a number of sports, such as flag football, ping- pong, floor hockey, kickball, and whiffle ball. It is a very relaxed, less-competitive environment in which stu- dents from all grade levels may participate. It will begin in October and end in May.
LUNCH PROGRAM
Lunches are available to all students starting with the first day of school and ending on the last day of school. Daily lunches may be purchased each day during stu- dents’ scheduled lunch periods. Milk may be pur- chased on a daily basis. The lunch menu will be pub- lished in the local newspaper and will be available at school. Students may be assigned to sit in specific areas in the cafeteria. All students are responsible for properly dis- posing of their trash and cleaning of tables. As students’ balance approaches $0.00 they will be re- minded daily of their need for replenishing their lunch account balance. Students with a negative $10 bal- ance will be offered a limited lunch option.
