The Week of October 17th

It is a very exciting week for the RSS XC Runners!  Not only do we get to officially start our classes in a brand new school, we are off to the North Zones in Salmon Arm on Wednesday.  Your early dismissal time will be 1:20pm.  Please get your homework from your teachers, get changed and ready to go, and we will meet in the front foyer at 1:30 and hop on the bus.  Remember that there is a $20 travel fee for this race, and you can pay it at the office this week.

You will see that I've posted the results for the Vernon race last week because two of our runners attended with a parent.  Megan E was the 1st Junior and Hanna T placed 12th in the Senior category.  Congratulations for a great race and thanks for representing RSS!

Update for the Valleys!  Valleys will be held on Tuesday, October 25th at Larch Hills, and the race starts at 11:30am; we will have to leave at 8:50am that day.  This is the race where all the teams in the Okanagan try for their shot at the provincials.  In order to qualify, you need to be amongst the top 3 teams (girls or boys) or the top 20 individuals at this race.

Space may be limited and I need to register you for this race this week, so please let me know your intentions for the Valleys after the North Zones.  We have a great set of teams, so lets get ready to tackle those trails!
