Moorena e te whaanau,
a few reminders about Rural Schools Cross Country today:
???? Roto shirts to be worn please - we do have a limited supply of spare/old ones but they are mostly very small.
???? SHOES! No shoes, no run! This means sneakers/running shoes, not Crocs or gumboots please.
???? Water bottles are a must, they will need a drink. Send them with plenty of lunch too please.
⌚ We need to be assembled at the Karaapiro Domain with our JUNIORS AT 9.30am so if you're bringing your child please don't be late. Seniors will follow at 10.30am, so if you said you would transport your senior there you will need to take them at 10.30am please.
???? Lunch packs will be given out to seniors who ordered them.
???? Roxy will now be at Karaapiro for the whole event but will take the school cellphone with her 027 277 9351.
