Track and Field

Good morning, homeschoolers.

It is getting to be that time of year when we look forward to our annual track and field day in the Valley. All information for the event is below. Please pass it on to the rest of your homeschooling group and post it on your websites/blogs. We do know for some of you this is quite a journey, but we wanted to offer it to you and let your families make the decision about travelling for this fantastic day of fun competition.

Please email your intent to come including the ages of your children, to Paula or Edward James at hurdles@ns.sympatico.ca. Do not reply to this email with your intent to participate.

For those of you who have attended in previous years, also note that we will NOT be having the book sale at this event this year, nor will the team games be played in the afternoon. If you would like information on those events, contact me at janblackwell2@hotmail.com or see us on facebook at Annapolis Valley Home Schoolers. Jan Blackwell

A Hershey Homeschoolers Track & Field Meet!

This is a grassroots Track & Field Program with events taking place all over North America. There will be sprints, a middle distance race, standing long jump and the ball throw. No special equipment or experience required. ALL school-aged homeschoolers (grade P-12) are invited to participate in our meet. For all those between the ages of 9 and 14, there is also a provincial Hershey Final taking place on June 23rd. More information will be available at our meet, and online at www.hersheystrackandfield.com

The cost to participate is $5 per child (with a maximum of $20 per family). However, if this fee would prevent any child from taking part, it will be waived.

Don't be late, registration is at 9:30AM sharp! 

Pack your lunch and sneakers and aim to arrive in Wolfville early so you don't miss a thing!

Registration takes place on site, however please email your intention to participate (# of children and ages) to help us prepare. For more information and to sign up as a parent to help on the day, please contact;
