Updated info for Track & Field

4/12/2015

 
Hi Tennyson Tigers!

What a great launch to the track and field season - the kids have been out enjoying themselves and the weather has been great!

It’s been a great week for the Track and Field team, and we’re up to 48 eager tigers running, jumping and throwing!  Practices started last Monday, March 30 and run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 to 8:50.   We are delighted to have coach Steve from the Thunderbirds Track and Field Club working with our team periodically this season.  

Parent Volunteers needed:
Friday Snack Day   Our Tennyson Tigers work hard throughout the week and it would be nice to celebrate after Friday practises with a snack.  Any parents interested in bringing a snack on an upcoming Friday morning practise? (no nuts please!)

Mini meet and district meet drivers :
We will be asking parents to coordinate transportation for their children to and from meets amongst themselves.  If you are driving any children other than your own to or from meets, please complete a VSB Driver Approval form and have it signed by Mme  Lavoie.  Please also check with the meet coordinator of that day before leaving the school with students.

Mini-Mini Meet  Organizers :
The VSB Track and Field events are aimed at students in Grades 3 to 7.  Any parents keen on helping organize a Mini-Mini Meet at the school to include the K to 2‘s  should  contact Carina ([email protected])

New Registrations:
New registrations will be  accepted until  Monday, April 13.  There is no cost, but please submit a registration form to ensure your child may participate; forms are available outside the school office or on the Tennyson website and can be dropped in the mail slot.  Students in K to grade 2 will require a parent to stay with them for the duration of the practises.  

Mini-meets and District Meets:
Mini-meets are fun events held at nearby parks and schools. Attendance at mini-meets is not required, but are alot of fun! Students have the opportunity to participate in mini-meets for events they have been practising.  Our team has been practising  long jump, running, high jump and shot put, and will represent Tennyson fiercely!

Please complete a  Track and Field Mini-Meet and District Meet Form  if your child plans to participate in any of the meets (this is  attached  and in addition to the registration form). 

Mini-Meets are at Camosun Park (16th and Camosun) 3:30 to 5 pm

Juniors (grades 3 to 5): Wednesday, May 13   and  Thursday, May 21

Seniors (grades 6 and 7): Monday, May 11   and  Tuesday, May 19

Final Meet

The Final meet is an exciting event that takes place on   May 26th   at Point Grey  Secondary School.  Put this one in your calendars as it is too much fun to be missed!  Your child should attend at least one mini-meet during the season in order to attend this Final Meet.

Juniors (grades 3-5) participate from 8:30 am until 12:30 pm 

Seniors (grades 6-7) participate from 1 pm until 3/3:30 pm.

We ask  that students wear their Tennyson orange t-shirts from cross country to the mini meets and district meet.  If you don’t have one already,   you may  purchase one (limited supply available) from Giuliana Bertuzzi ([email protected]).

Who's Who in the Zoo:

Tennyson Tigers Track and Field Head Coaches:  Jacqueline Crummey and Rob Severyn  (parents of Zachary, Grade 4 and Josh, K).  They are supported by an enthusiastic and hard-working team of parent coaches:   Karoly Barna,  Ed Sernoski, Lori Velisek,  Ryan McCuaig and Carina Blafield  . More coaches would be welcomed!

Teacher coaches:  Mme Christine, Mme Elizabeth, Mme Renee.

Paperwork:  Beth Elliott  (Mom of Charlotte, Grade 5) and Giuliana Bertuzzi (Mom of Sophia, Grade 6)

Principal Cheerleader:  Jacqueline Lavoie

Parents are encouraged to participate:  if you have a bit of time on your way to work, feel free to help out at one of the stations (long jump, relay, shot put) and cheer our Tigers along.
