Activity Update


We've had some changes to our activities schedule as we continue to recover from the impacts of winter storm Atlas.  Please review the information below and contact coaches or the school if you have any questions.

Volleyball
The 7th and 8th grade games versus Douglas have been rescheduled for this Friday, October 11th.  The 7th grade teams (Silver, White, Maroon) will be traveling to Douglas.  The bus leaves at 2:00 and the first game begins at 3:45. The 8th grade teams (Silver, White, Maroon) are playing at the middle school and the first game begins at 4:00.

The 7th and 8th grade games versus Belle Fourche have been rescheduled for Monday, October 14th.  The 8th grade teams (Silver, White, Maroon) will be traveling to Belle Fourche.  The bus leaves at 3:45 and the first game begins at 4:30.  The 7th grade teams (Silver, White, Maroon) will be hosting Belle Fourche in the SMS Spartan Dome (our gym) and the first game also begins at 4:30.

I realize that next week is extremely full for the volleyball teams with our previously scheduled engagements and the make-up game on Monday.  However, we could either play the postponed games on Friday and Monday or not play them at all.  I made the decision to play them.

XC
There have been a couple changes in bus and event times for cross country.  The bus headed to Gillette this
Saturday will leave at 7:30 am to accomoadate a 10:00 start.  The meet was originally scheduled to begin at 11:00.

The Rapid City Middle School Invitational on Thursday, October 17th has switched times and location.  The meet will begin at 2:30 and will be held at West Middle School as opposed to the Executive Golf Course.  The bus will leave at 12:30.  Eighth grade runners will need to eat during 6th grade lunch.

Thank you for being understanding as we try and get our school and lives back on track.  I'm thankful that this storm happened early in the year so that temperatures, although uncomfortable, were not as life-threatening as they would have been in January or February.  I shutter when I think about the conditions those without power and heat during the storm would have faced if the outside temperature would have been 30 degrees colder.

Think Sun!
