Track Stars is off and running!  We have more students participating and more parents volunteering, it’s been a great start!  I just wanted to put out the Sign-Up Genius again, please sign-up for any time slot that works for you.  Track Stars is every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  It’s such a fun, fulfilling, and super-simple way to help out!  You’ll be outside for both morning recesses (10:45-11:00 and 11:00-11:15) keeping track of how many laps each child does.  Here’s the link to the Sign-Up Genius:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0D4DADAF2DAAF94-track
