Parent! Big Cat Invitational! Parents we need your help to put on the big Cat Invitational Track and Field Meet on Satruday March 2. If you could be there by 8:30 it would help us out tremendously. This is a major funraiser for our Track and Field Team and teh money from the Snack Bar helps fund athletics for Santa Rosa High. The Track and Field team makes moeny fromthe gate and entry fees. The jobs are simple and no preknowledge is necessary. You will be trained that day for whatever it is you will be doing. You get the best seats in the stadium, right on the field. Please let me know if you can help. We do not have official officials working our meets and are completely dependent on our parents. There will be about 20 schools and over 800 athletes competing. Let me kn ow. 528-0627, zeemie@aol.com or via facebook. Thanks for your help.

Posted: 27 Jan 2013 07:21 PM PST Sports packets need to be turned in by Wenesday Jan 30. Please put them in my In Box in the school's main office. If you have completed a packet for another sport as SRHS then all you need do is to take care of the $50 fee. This must be done before you can participate in practice beginning Monday Feb 4. Attached is a letter from our athletic director regarding athletic packets. Spring Sport Coach I need athletic packets by next Wednesday for kids to be ready to practice on Monday Feb 4th. Only those with completed athletic packets and cleared by me can practice…It’s going to take me a few days since I am processing all spring sports. Please help me get your student athletes ready to practice by getting the athletic packets completed, transportation fee receipt attached and turned in to me by Wednesday January 30….for the first practice date of spring season Monday Feb 4. I will work all weekend if necessary to process all the athletic packets I receive on next Wednesday…if they come after next Wednesday then I will get to them when I can.

Doug Courtemarche 7:29pm Jan 27 Panther Rock Stars on the Track and Field Team. Senior Kyra Kennedy, juniors Jordan Codding, Claire Bartlett and Molly Bartlett instructed over 120 girls ages 8-12 today at SRJC for the 16th annual Girls Sports Exposition. Kyra and Jordan taught the pole vault and Claire and Molly instructed in the Long and Triple jumps. Of course all 4 were magical as they took their charges into the unknown of High School jumping. A suggestion was made that perhaps we should have taught the little ones the "CLAW". We deicded not to. It was a great day for the youngsters to learn from our own teammates and for our 4 Panther Girls to demonstrate not only their skills but also their ability to teach and guide. Great job girls and GO Panthers!

Track practaice begins Monday Feb 4 at Nevers Field. In order to practice you will have to have completed and turned in an athletic packet for this current school year that began in August 2012. Athletic packets can be picked up in the main office. You need to turn them into me. My inbox is in the lower left corner in the main office as you go to your right. It is labled " Cross Country/Track and Field". There is also the $50 fee to be dealt with. That, too, needs to be taken care of before you can begin practice. Waivers are available in the business office. There is a Family maximum of $150 for an entire school year. Even if you have paid a $50 fee for a Fall and Winter sport you still need to pay the Spring fee unless you get a waiver or your family has reached the $150 minimum. If your family has reached the maximum you still need to get the waiver. I will need to see your waiver sheet before you can practice. If you are a new transfer student to Santa Rosa High you will need to see Mr. Neally to obtain a waiver to participate. Take care of the paper work now so you don't miss the early season practices. The meet schedule is attached.

Delaney White was named in the top 50 Freshman Girls for Cross Country. Way to go Delaney! http://running.blogs.pressdemocrat.com/
