STEM Academy Outdoor Track & Field and Softball Update

As with any new program, projecting participation numbers prior to the start of the season is difficult. Due to low participation numbers at the STEM & High School levels, we have decided to make the following changes for the upcoming spring season:

• We will be unable to support a STEM Academy Outdoor Track & Field team. Instead, 8th Graders will participate at the high school level. If enough interest exists at the 7th Grade level, a Spring Running Club will be created and begin in late-March.
• 8th Graders are now eligible to tryout for high school Softball.
• 7th Graders are now eligible to play STEM Academy Softball.

The high school boys & girls track teams will meet after school in the SHS Large Cafeteria on Mon. 3/16 at 2:45pm. 8th Graders interested in participating should attend this meeting to discuss the upcoming season with the coaching staff.
