SPORTS
Attention all novice rowers. Our first competition comes up on Saturday, February 1st so it is very important that you attend practices this week on the regular Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, and a third practice at either the tank, or on an alternate training day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). We want to set you up to be safe and successful as you get ready to ROCK n’ ROW at the competition. Crossley rowers like to say “If you fail to prepare, be prepared to fail”. So, let’s prepare together at practice and get you ready to race. Details and info about upcoming races and practices will be shared via email, so stay tuned and keep up the good work. Go blue and gold!
