Track Meet @ Minoru

Dear Ferris Families,

 We are very excited for our Track & Field Meet tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13.Please see below for information for all Grades 4-7 students. Arrival at SchoolGrades 5-7 students must arrive at school at 8:00am. They will meet in the gym and do attendance with their classroom teacher. They should be prepared for the day. They will walk to Minoru Park as a large group. Grade 4 students will arrive at the regular time, 8:45am, and go to their classroom for attendance. They will walk to Minoru Park with the other grade 4 classes. PreparationStudents should wear running shoes (no Crocs), athletic clothing appropriate for running, jumping and throwing, and pack additional layers depending on the weather. It would be a good idea to wear or pack track pants, a light jacket and/or hoodie. It is also a good idea to show your Ferris heart and wear your Ferris Shirt and to bring/wear sunscreen and a hat. Food and DrinkIt is very important that the students are fueled and hydrated with healthy choices. Students should pack a lunch and bring enough snacks and drink for the day. Water will be available at filling stations.A concession is available only during the students’ Break Station but does not have healthy lunch choices. We discourage the students from bringing money or any other valuables. ScheduleFamilies are welcome to come and watch their children participate in the Track Meet.
