Track 1 and 3 Walk-a-Thon

Information about our school's annual fundraiser, the Brassfield Walkathon, will be sent in your child's Wednesday folder this week (Tracks 1 & 3).  This is our school's only fundraiser and supports many important programs at our school. The walkathon will be held Friday, August 31 for Tracks 1 & 3 (rain date: Tuesday, September 4) and Friday, September 21 for tracks 2 & 4 (rain date: Monday, September 24).  Contact Kelly Schoch if you have questions (kelly.schoch@att.net)

Open House

Open House is tomorrow (July 18) evening from 5 until 7.  I look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow!

Running Club

Calling all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students that enjoy running and would like to prepare for a race (1 mile, 2 mile, or 5k). You should join the Brassfield running club!   During our weekly runs, we will work on building endurance and speed while fostering a love of running.  The club will begin on Wednesday, 8/29/18 and will meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:45-4:45.  Our last running club will be Wednesday, 11/7/18. Runners are welcomed to attend running club over their track out if someone is available to drop them off at the track, sign in with a coach, and pick them up at the carpool loop after practice as usual. The runners must be picked up promptly at 4:45 in the carpool parking loop.  We expect that all students participating in our running club will exhibit PAWS behavior. Runners will receive one warning for poor behavior choices. After the one warning, runners who are continuing to make poor behavior choices will be asked to leave the club.  If you have questions, feel free to contact Libby Lipetzky (elipetzky@wcpss.net).  Happy Running!

*Reminder: This form must be completed each season.  If your child participated in the spring, you must still complete this form in order for him/her to participate this fall.
