Coach's Gift Donation Final Request PLEASE HELP US

This was announced two weeks ago and so far only a small portion of the team has turned in money. In case you missed the first few announcements, we're asking that everyone give at least $10 for coaches' gifts. If you're feeling generous, we won't refuse more :) We have the best coaching staff in the league, and we all know how much hard work they put in to see us succeed. This is your chance to say thank you for all the encouragement, expertise, and energy they've given us.

PLEASE BRING THE MONEY TO THE TRACK AFTER SCHOOL ON MONDAY! Even though there is no practice, I will be there! Thanks so much for your support.

Help at Redwood Empire

Athletes, don't forget to be at the Redwood Empire meet at Nevers field on Saturday.

Also our advancing teammates need you there to root them on to great feats on their feet. Show that Panther Pride and Spirit. It's time to amp up the Panther. Let's ROAR! We need you there by 8:30.

Parents, We need helpers for the Redwood Empire Meet on Saturday May 19 at our school. We really really need you to help out. The meet begins at 9 AM and will be over by 2:30. Any time you can give our team will be of great help. None of the jobs are difficult. All of the field events are covered. We need people to do jobs we don't normally do at one of our Wednesday meets or Big Cat. We need two to four people to help sell NCS merchandise. You will be sitting the entire time unless you prefer to stand. We need a couple of people to read a wind gauge while sitting down. Please, please volunteer. Thank you very much.
