HEY PARENTS WE NEED DRIVERS FOR PRACTICING IN THE PARK!

Hi Parents,

We need more drivers to take our MCHS runners to the park!   ...There is not enough involvement from the ALL PARENTS and it's starting to get in the way of our training; for those that have been helping, THANK-YOU VERY MUCH!!!    ...For those that have not yet driven, PLEASE SIGN UP FOR 1 DAY, OR PREFERABLY, 2 DAYS!

The driving schedule is posted for the rest of the season (only 6 more weeks!) and I've challenged all kids today at practice to ask if their parents can commit to drive for only 2 events for the remaining season (we need 68 seats total = 10-12 drivers minimum for each day!) and we have 90+ kids on the roster, so if everyone does their part this should all work out...  

-We like to run in the park, typically 2-3 days of every week.

On Mondays we leave MCHS at 3:10, the rest of the week leaving at 3:40 with workouts lasting ~60-90 minutes after dropping off kids (OK to have one parent drop-off and the other pick-up),    Here's the schedule for the rest of the season;  locations vary (Howarth Park, Park Trail, Channel Drive), but we'll tell you where we're going before we leave MCHS each day:

Tue, 9/30
Thu, 10/2

PLEASE HELP THE MCHS XC TEAM!!!

Fri, 10/3
Mon, 10/6
Thu, 10/9
