2008 Girls Cross Country

Important Information for the upcoming season:
Anyone interested in signing up for cross country in the fall, there will be a parent-athlete meeting on May 29 from 7- 8p.m. in the Jr. High Library. It is important to attend as it will cover the upcoming season, schedule, practices, fundraisers, etc... Most importantly it will cover the annual summer cross country camp in northern Michigan July 20-24. Our reservation for camp must be made quickly, so it is important for a parent to be there since we are asking for $50 per person to cover the deposit. Checks can be made out to Bedford Public Schools. If you can not make it to the meeting and are still interested there will be information sheets in both the High School and Jr. High office with a sign up sheet.
Please e-mail me with any questions or concerns at: coachjeffdavis@yahoo.com
