Country Kids Relays

It is that time again, the time trials for the Country Kids Relays has begun! The Country Kids Relays will be May 19th this year, two weeks after the Awesome 3000.

Time trials have been taking place during part of the PE classes these past couple of weeks, weather permitting. My goal is to have every student have a couple different chances to get timed and to post the teams by spring break. However, if the weather does not cooperate I will not post the teams until after spring break when all of the students have had an equal opportunity to run.

Do you have to be fast to be on the team?  Being fast is important, but it takes more than speed to represent Forest Ridge on race day. The 6 boys and 6 girls chosen from each grade may not be the fastest, but they have been selected by their speed and their behavior they demonstrate in the classroom throughout the school year.  It is a very busy day with many things going on and people every where and for the safety of the students if a student is unable to be responsible in the classroom I will not select them to represent this year's team.


If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

Mr. Hampton
