Track Club Update-  We currently have over 100 students that have signed up to be a part of the Briarlake Track Club.  Due to this overwhelming response, we cannot accept any more participants at this time.

Students are asked to bring their own healthy snack and a water bottle on Wednesdays for practice.  If you are a member of the Track Club, please remember that there will NOT be a meeting next Wednesday, February 3rd because of our monthly faculty meeting.  Please make sure that you have made the necessary arrangements for pick up on February 3rd.

Thanks again for all of the support.  We are so encouraged that students want to get out and move! 
Mrs. Blackmore and Ms. Cernoch
